Even if you've seen the Art Institute, you haven't taken in all of its pleasures until you've enjoyed a meal in one of its lower level restaurants. The Cafe is more like a cafeteria, all self-service, but it proves that "yummy" and "cafeteria food" are terms that can go together. There's a grill station where you can pick up fresh fish or a carver item, as well as an Italian, deli and dessert station.

Average cost: <$10
