"Volunteer Park Cafe & Pantry might sound obvious, but it’s as close to the park as you can get, and the food here happens to be great. If you jogged the park in the morning, stop in afterwards for a pastry and an iced latte. If you forgot to eat after reading an entire novella in one sitting on the grass, have a big BEC on a poppy roll dripping with gooey american cheese. The entire building feels like a farmhouse, so it’s a great come-as-you-are kind of place, even if you tend to get very gross and sweaty after jogging." - aimee rizzo
