Arts & Culture
Free classical music performances 1200 (mid-day) every Sunday - seating is first come first served, so for popular performers it's necessary to get there before 1145 to avoid disappointment, however people do leave sometimes, so if it's already full you may still get in if you are willing to wait a while. Cafe in the basement.
