Rails Conf '08: Travel — Eating & Drinking

Unless you want to eat the less-than-desirable boxed lunch at the conference, or try to survive off Starbucks alone, you’ll need to find some place to get some food and have a drink. We’ve syndicated a list of restaurants that are not far from the conference. We recommend calling to ensure that they are open for business on weekends.
