See snack/dining options in the legislative buildings here.
You may bring your own food, but not into the chamber galleries.
We like the Daily Planet Cafe for lunch.

ATTIRE

We recommend: somewhat professional, as for a casual business meeting. But wear comfortable shoes – the offices are far apart.

Please do not wear a C2C+NoC t-shirt to a lobby day. You will attend as part of the nonpartisan sponsoring organization, not as an emissary for C2C+NoC. Thanks!
