Oh yes...
In the Westin there is an excellent, though pricey, Seafood place that I always make a point to eat at at lease once.
Across the street at the Courtyard there is a very nice steak house that garners raves.
Up the street a couple of blocks is an interesting oriental place, Japanese and Korean.. not as fancy as the others, but still excellent food.
Hope that gets you started

That would be The Fish Market.
I agree, the fare is excellent, and priced accordingly.
(They carry decent single-malt, though...)

There's a Morton's Steakouse not too far from the Westin, a few blocks -- 625 Liberty Avenue. Excellent steak and fine service.

The Original Fish Market at the Westin should be a nice choice, then. Good seafood there (I enjoyed their Grilled Calamari highly!).

Stay away from that Chinese restaurant near the Westin! I love Chinese food but 1. the food sucks. 2. the serviece is bad and 3. the food really sucks.
Personally I'm going to hit up Primanti Bros. this year one night after getting slobbering drunk and enjoy their fameous sammach. mmm... sammach. nothing like fies and coleslaw and meat between two slices of bread. it;s a meal in your hands! There's one about 6-8 blocks away from the westin (on like 8th st or something) off the road that goes inbetween the Westin and the convention hall under the little bridge for the fursuiters.

There are two very close chinese restaurants equidistant from the Westin, I believe. The word is that one is very good and the other is not so good.
I've been to the not-so-good one. I'll leave it to others to point out which is which.

Yes oh god please! If anyone knows where the better one is say something! I'd rather fall down the escalator at the Westin than go back to the one I went to last year.
For the record the bad chinese restaurant is on the same block as the Kwik-e-mart and that bar place that is directly infront of the Westin. As someone who has been to China and a student at a cooking school the food is substandard, least when it comes to Chinese. I mean it is "edible" and non toxic but I'd bet my entire AC fund that they didn;t even have a proper wok and used aluminum skillets instead. No, wait... I don't I'm not a gambling man for a reason.
Really, if you want food. Hey, go there; I won't stop you unless I'm with you. But be warned this place is kind of a dive, and so is the pizza parlor about 3 er 4 blocks away. but that's a pizza parlor. a pizza parlor can be a dive and still make good pies; and theirs were decent.

I think I ate at both, and thought the food was OK at both, but I always get beef & broccoli, and it's pretty hard to screw that up
During AC06, I ate at the Golden Palace on Smithfield; this sounds like the dive, as it had 12? booth-style sittings. During AC07, I ate at (I think) Liang's on Liberty - this was a fancier restaurant, but the service was awfully slow - I think it took them 20+ minutes to take my order
Still looking for a place to get nachos...

permalinkAt AC'07, the Golden Palace was supposed to be closed early on
July 4. Since they were the only place open in the
neighborhood, all us late-arriving furs ended up there.
Despite having almost no staff, they stayed open until everyone
had finished their meals. (Which was hours later.)
And I didn't turn into a pumpkin or anything from the food.
I think that should count for something.

Oh, you think so?
Buy me a drink, Son, and I'll tell you a story!

permalinkHe didn't say anything about impossible. And yeah, I've had some pretty messed up beef and broccoli. Woo, there is a night in the emergency room I want back.

I don't drink, and I'm five years older than you
Maybe save the story for UKSH, or is it grosser than the kidney stones? 
Maybe by "mess up" I (subconciously) meant "taste-wise", not food-safety-wise; when I posted that, I had forgotten about some B&B takeout I got 15? years ago - it went through me so badly I ended up semi-delirious from dehydration
This is why I have serious reservations about getting a colonoscopy - two days of pre-op "cleaning out" don't appeal to me at all
- and I just now flashed back to the six enemas I needed to clean me out before having a pilonidal cyst removed 30 years ago 
Sorry for the TMI...

uh, yeah, kinda TMI there!
And the story is on my 2000 video "Doctor vs. Doctor," which is long out of stock, so you'll still have to buy me a drink. You can have a soda.
