"The Mitsitam Cafe, which has been a destination within the National Museum of the American Indian for all kinds of foodies, is expanding.

By closing the first floor gift shop, the museum reclaimed enough space to add 38 new seats. The capacity is now 403 seats with a plan to add 12 more seats.

This is good news for tourists and office workers who often find the cafe filled to capacity. The draw is the presentation of indigenous food, divided into cuisine from the Northern Woodlands, Mesoamerica, South America, Northwest Coast and Great Plains."
