---++ Near the Hotels: Kirby Avenue and Neil Street

I know, it's mostly chain restaurants within walking distance of the conference, but there are a few gems in there.  

<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=205229397709044337805.0004cdad48f5788b4746d&msa=0&ll=40.097902,-88.247294&spn=0.010538,0.014334"><img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/neareats.png"></a>

   $ *Merry Ann's Diner* (* L $):  This Champaign mainstay is the real-deal--everything you want from a true American diner.  Open Late. %BR% *Find it:*  from the hotels, it's just across Neil Street on the far north corner with Kirby.  
   $ *Espresso Royale* (* $):  Coffee drinkers: If you are not staying at the I-Hotel, you wil probably be stopping here for a proper cupa. %BR% *Find it:*  On the hotel side of Neil street next door to the Hilton Garden Inn.
   $ *Cactus Grill* (* $$):  Not the same ol' Mexican %BR% *Find it:*  Next door to Espresso Royale.
   $ *Jarling's Custard Cup* (* $):  Who cares that it's November--this is the best frozen custard in town!  %BR% *Find it:*  Walk west on Kirby Ave and find it on the south side, past State St
   $ *Seaboat* (* $$):  The best fish-and-chips in town by folks who care about fresh fried fish.  Throw in some soulful sides like fried okra or sweet potato pie.  Worth the slightly longer walk.  %BR% *Find it:*  Walk west on Kirby Ave and find it on the south side, just past Jarlings and Vinny's Pizza.

---++ East Campus/Krannert Neighborhood

If you want to catch a show at either the [[http://www.krannertcenter.com/][Krannert Center for Performing Arts]] or the [[http://canopyclub.com/][Canopy Club]], know that there are some nice places to get food and/or coffee before or after the show.  You can get to this area via the [[http://web-test.ncsa.illinois.edu/Conferences/ADASS2012/beta/travel/bus.html#krannert][Gold bus]].  

<a href="https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=205229397709044337805.0004cdad48f5788b4746d&msa=0&ll=40.10734,-88.223562&spn=0.004981,0.005665"><img tite="click to get interactive map" src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/krannertfood.png" /></a>

   $ *The Bread Company* (* A $/$$): European-style bakery and cafe.  Lunch features fresh sandwiches, soups, and salads; dinner features European-style plates, fondue, pizzas, and pasta with a decent beer and wine list.  %BR% *Find it*: on the east (left) side of Goodwin Ave. just past the 4-way stop at Oregon.  

   $ *Timpone's* (* A $$):  Northern Italian with a great wine list. %BR% *Find it*: on the east (left) side of Goodwin Ave. past the The Bread Company.

   $ *Manolo's Pizza and Empanadas* (* L $):  What's better than a slice after a fun night on the town?  Empanadas, is what.  This place is awesome and open late; but be warned, at 1am, there may be a line. %BR% *Find It:* This is just 2 doors down from the coffee shop on the corner on Oregon.  

   $ *The Red Herring* (* L $):  Vegetarian/Vegan "hole-in-the-wall"; worth the walk.  %BR% *Find it*: At the 4-way stop at Oregon. turn right.  It's located on your left in the basement of its building.

---+++ Coffee

   $ *Espresso Royale* (* $):  A great place to get an espresso after dinner.  

   $ *Intermezzo Cafe* ($):  This cafe is located inside the [[http://www.krannertcenter.com/][Krannert Center]].  The best thing about this cafe are the desserts; however, the center itself is fun to check out and getting coffee is a good excuse to check it out.  

Additional restaurants can be found east along Oregon St. including barbeque and Thai.
