PACK A LUNCH!

The Dia:Beacon is one of the largest museums in the country with one of the worst cafes. The gourmet menu is overpriced and stale. A small side plate of air aged pasta was $5.95. I ordered cold cream of potato leek soup for $5, and it turned out to be half and half with 4 croutons on top. The Reuben sounded decent, but they were out, so I was stuck with the leftover portabella and mozzarella sandwiches rejected on a plate for who knows how many days. The sandwich tasted like refrigerator and it was $7. Not only was the food bad but the girl that rang my order up was being trained by a large townie that did nothing but correct the trainee for every wrong move. I threw half of the sandwich in the outdoor seating area designed by Robert Irwin and didn't look back.
