International Art Museum Of America

Burritos built to order since 1991, with chips and salsa on the table.

Huge bowls of pho and crisp imperial rolls in a small, no-frills room.

Union Square beer hall with a kids' menu and outdoor tables.

A compact play area with swings and a slide, plus a basketball court and clubhouse that runs year round programs.

A one-room neighborhood history museum, with mostly adult subject matter. Closed for now while it repairs water damage and builds a space three times the size.

The end of the line, where two operators push the cable car around by hand. Free to stand and watch, and reliably good for ten minutes.
