** Restaurants and Commissarys at the World's Fair **
One of the major things at the fair was the food. After walking around all day, people need nourishment! Lunch counters, cafes, and restaurants were scattered all about the fair. Most restaurants were located near the major buildings and along the Midway Plesance.The cafes and lunch counters were located in some of the buildings themselves. The cost of lunches is around 25 cents, while a good dinner could be purchased at around 35-65 cents. Lunch counters were located in the Agricultural buliding, the Machinery Hall, the Liberal Arts Building, the Transportation Hall and the Women's Building. Restaurants were located near some buildings. For example, The Marine Cafe, which is northwest of the Fisheries Buildings. The Polish and Swedish Cafes were north of the Fisheries Building, The New England Clam Bake was on North Pond, and the Big Tree Restaurant was west of the Anthropological Building. Restaurants played a major part of the fair in the ways of pleasing the people.

Each Restaurant at the World's Fair specialized in their own type of food. The Fisheries building housed restaurants and cafes that specialized in seafood. The Marine Cafe served filet of fish. Some cafes were named after specific places. These cafes served food from the specific places they were named after. Specifically at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893, the Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwich and Iced Tea were made famous. **Works Cited** Bolotin, Norman, and Christine Laing. //The World's Columbian Exposition//.
