The employees here are sooooo sweet. We were having a terrible day and they went out of their way way to cheer up my kids. The food was delicious. My kids loved the pizza and I had a terrific sandwich. Lots of healthy and comfort food options.

The Park Ave. Cafe is a highlight of the "food scene" at the hospital. The Southside Cafeteria is terrible, bland, understocked, and overpriced. The Panera is sort of a Panera Lite. But even without those to compare it to, the Cafe is inexpensive, friendly, with healthy-sized portions, and a good selection. Wander back to the Old Building and check it out.
