Excellent. It's smack in the middle of everything. Now, granted, this is 
Ottawa, so "everything" doesn't mean a lot of things, but still... ;-)

	Me, I'm taken Thursday night, and I have the oncall shackles for the week-
end.  We can try for tomorrow night, or Friday night.  You probably want to 
keep your Friday night to mingle with the conference peeps. So... tomorrow 
(that is, Wednesday) night?  

	As for where, there is always the Darcy McGee[1]  right beside where you are.  
But then, going to an Irish pub might be bringing owls to Athen,. :-)  

	There's a slew of other restaurants dwelling in the market. Sushi, Indian, 
Viet-Namese, Tex-Mex, you name it, it's there.  Any preference in the lot?

	Another sight-seeing activity I recommend is the haunted walk 
(http://www.hauntedwalk.com/).  They sell the tickies on the corner of Sparks 
street and Elgin.  In 90 minutes, they walk you through around downtown , so 
you get to see a little bit of the old, nice architectures, and you get to 
hear a wee bit of the local history.  And it's nice, cheesy amusing fun too. 
:-)

Cheers,
