You get a light picnic-style grazing-board lunch (typically fruit, veggies, meats, cheeses, dips, crackers, pita or naan, and cookies), plus sparkling water and extra water to refill your personal water bottle. If you have strict allergies or dietary needs, bring your own lunch—there will be room in the cooler.
