LOCATED IN THE TUCSON MUSEUM OF ART & HISTORIC BLOCK COURTYARD
Located in the historic 1865 Stevens House on the grounds of the Tucson Museum of Art, Café à la C’Art is a unique space with a Monet-inspired garden patio. Great for breakfast lunch and dinner. On a cool day, it would be about a half hour walk from Casa Limón (or a couple minute drive / bike ride). If walking, recommend going over the pedestrian bridge that goes over congress and walking through the federal building, through Presidio Park and through the Tucson Museum of Art Lobby. (Check out the museum while you are there!)

"Located in the heart of the historic Presidio district of downtown Tucson and tucked inside the walls of Old Town Artisans you will find the beautiful courtyard restaurant that is La Cocina. Boasting al fresco dining, a rustic Cantina, and live music under the stars this gem certainly offers something for everyone.
The menu is an eclectic mix of Mexican food, sandwiches, salads, and other globally inspired items. Lunch is served daily, brunch takes place on Saturday and Sunday, and dinner is served Tuesday through Saturday nights. You will even find a late night taco bar using an outdoor grill on the weekends."

The Chuck Huckelberry Loop is a system of paved, shared-use paths and short segments of buffered bike lanes connecting the Rillito, Santa Cruz, and Pantano River Parks with the Julian Wash and Harrison Road Greenways. More than 120 miles of paved pathways and bike lanes have already been completed with an additional 11 miles planned or currently under construction. You can get on the loop at cushing just after crossing the freeway. https://www.tucsonaz.gov/bicycle/maps
