I figured this could be of some help to a lot people. This year, the convention center the con is in is right next store to a giant, seven story mall. This gives people a lot of food options.
First up, is the Food Court, located on level 3. Ben & Jerry's Cathay Cathay Dale & Thomas Popcorn Gourmet India Japan Cafe Johnny Rockets Le Petit Bistro Pizzeria Regina Popeye's Chicken & Biscuits Subway Surf & Turf Taco Bell If sit down eating is more your style, there are options there as well. Cafe Nordstrom Chatters Dave & Buster's Fire + Ice Joe's American Bar & Grill Johnny Rockets Napa Valley Grille Nordstrom EBar The Cheesecake Factory Uno Chicago Grill The mall it self is huge, and you can find out information on it from their own web site and via wikipedia. http://www.providenceplace.com/html/index10.asp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providence_Place_Mall The nice thing about this is convience, though if you want to eat at a local place, you can probally manage that a few blocks from the area too. -------------------- |

I would think there is some really good seafood in RI. Are there any in walking distance from the convention center?

Yeah, I definitely need to make a date with some fresh seafood while we're in RI. Maybe a softshell crab sandwich would be nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-arcee.gif)
It'll be good to have a lot of places to eat close by, too. When there wasn't anywhere to eat in 2004, I just went most of the weekend without eating. 2006 wasn't too bad, since the convention center had a decent food court and some local places in easy walking distance. Incidentally, I just noticed the other night that "Cheapside", the bar and grill where a big group of us ate in Lexington in 2006, is featured in a commercial about advertising for small businesses. Anyone else see that? -------------------- "Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise." - Cato the Elder "Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights.

Softshell crab sandwich? Never heard of that, but it sounds great.
