---++++ Note to attendees staying at the Holiday and Ramada Inns

Unfortunately, there are fewer restaurant choices near your hotels.  The closest ones are the hotel restaurant in the Holiday Inn and the Urbana Garden, on the other side of Lincoln Ave.  I recommend that you make you dinner plans closer to NCSA.  The [[InterOpMay2012Venue#Getting_to_the_NCSA_building][Illini bus]] runs late into evening (past 2am).  

   $ *Restaurant codes used in descriptions below*: * -- Recommended for quality or convenience %BR% L -- Lunch only %BR%  A -- Serves Beer, wine, and/or spirits. %BR% $ -- Reasonable Cost, particularly for Lunch %BR% $$ -- A little more expensive, more appropriate for dinner %BR%

---++ A near walk: University Avenue

Distance: less than 0.3 miles (&lt; 10 minutes walk) %BR%
