<p>The libraries are open all of the time, but I don’t think they’d be too exciting to see. 
Just books in there, mostly.</p>
<p>Parking is probably easiest at the lot on the northeast corner of Vassar Street and Massachusetts Avenue – it’s only about $8 a day. If possible, as oaklandmom says, I’d really recommend not driving, because that lot can fill up quickly, and it’s one of the only public lots around campus. MIT is adjacent to the Kendall T stop on the Red Line of the subway, and can also be reached by the #1 bus. If it’s at all possible, I would recommend taking public transportation instead of driving.</p>
<p>There are lunch cafes in the Stata Center ([here](<a href=“MIT Campus Map”>MIT Campus Map)</a>) and the Student Center ([here](<a href=“MIT Campus Map”>MIT Campus Map)</a>). I prefer the Stata Center cafe, although the Student Center has actual restaurants in addition to the (not terribly great) food court.</p>
