For the half dozen or so press folks gathered in the lobby, if you need a change of scenery for lunch/dinner/drinks. Because you all looked bored as hell (especially Pat Forde). There are a number of great eateries within walking distance of your hotel. For pizza, there's The Gruff. If you want barbeque, Smoke Justis is pretty new and in a cool old building. If you want a hip Asian restaurant with an award-winning beer menu, check out Amerasia. If the Irish pub scene is more your thing, Molly Malone's is really good. Or, the Keystone bar 'n grill has some amazing mac n' cheese if you're needing more of a comfort food fix. Finally, for drinks, make a stop at the Braxton Brewery. I've yet to have anything from there that wasn't great. Since it's seasonal, I recommend their Oktober Fuel. Or, if you just want to get blotto, you're a quick cab ride away from Mainstrasse Village and its ton of bars.
