Food Near McWane Science Center: Lunch Right Across the Street
Spending the day at McWane Science Center? Lunch is right across the street. Road To Burma is inside The Pizitz Food Hall, directly across 2nd Avenue North from McWane, serving Asian food and fresh sushi seven days a week.
How to get here from McWane
Walk out of McWane and cross 2nd Avenue North to The Pizitz. Come in through any entrance. Road To Burma is the stall closest to the outdoor patio entrance, so that door is the fastest way in. Look for the gold pagoda logo, order at the counter, and grab a table inside or on the patio.
Driving separately? The corner garage at 1st Avenue North & 18th Street North gives you the first hour free, and street parking is free all day on weekends and every day after 5 PM.
