organizing a caravan to a place can be difficult (and i know from cat 
herding at several yapc events). just to be lazy as the signup count is 
small so far, what about the restaurant in the doubletree? unfortunately 
the hotel web site doesn't show a menu so we can't look at it in 
advance. maybe someone who gets in before sunday could hightlight some 
dishes and pricing.

i couldn't find the restaurant on yelp but i did find the hotel and 
plenty of the reviews mention the restaurant. mixed from what i see and 
one said pricy which is somewhat expected in a hotel. the room reviews 
are all over the map but i am staying in the marriott courtyard. the 
most common complaint is about thin walls and trains going right by and 
blowing their horns due to a crossing there. ouch!

here are a few places close by:

this is 2 blocks away and looks interesting but pricy for some i would say

on the same block is a japanese sushi place which looks good and seems 
to have decent prices:

most everything else i see is a long walk or short drive away. if we 
still have a smallish group we can caravan.

thanx,
