    As of 5/30/13, credit cards are accepted at the cafeteria. An author for the Archives' blog figured that this development is about as pivotal as FDR's signing and creating of the NARA itself.

    Cafeteria accepts credit/debit cards. If you are a foreign researcher, do not forget to circle your surname on the request form. Otherwise, you'll wait for your request, which was already pulled.

    The oatmeal is best first thing in the morning, and a colleague says the biscuits are great. But bring cash, because credit isn't accepted in the cafeteria.

    The cafeteria accepts credit cards now. The deli does not, though.

    Don't interrupt your research by leaving the Archives! Grab a bite to eat between 7 am and 2 pm weekdays, but be sure to bring your cash (no credit cards).

    Always get here by 8 to get a parking space and go through security. That way you can register before the crowds arrive.

    Not customer service oriented, but then again, they don't have to be, because nobody else has the records you need.

    Don't try to take the mayorship. Don't even think about it.
