Kudos to those who pulled this together... a very nice booklette. Now, just to find time during the con to eat.

What an Excellent idea. Many "Thanks" to those who worked on putting this together-- and I'll admit, "What a clever idea on the front-cover composition." Highfive

Just because they offer venti mocha latte soy frappuchinos doesn't mean anything.

I notice that the only place on the list that got 5 stars was a coffee shop. I was sure you guys would put furnando's at 5 stars. Sticking out tongue

During the con, the staff is in greater need of caffeine than food... Evil

Plus, Fernando's food isn't *that* good; sure, it's a decent and convenient lunch for congoers, and they love the con, but they're definitely not the best restaurant in downtown Pittsburgh, or even the best sub shop.

I tried to download so I can view it in a better viewer.

When I click the "download" link, it took me to a registration. Are you kidding me? I have to fill out ANOTHER registration to view a PDF? WTH?!

Ask the folks from Scribd. It wasn't my idea.

Hey! No mention of Qdoba? There's two of 'em nearby, one right by the Omni!

(Yes, their hours are craptastic, but I've been hoping that an avalanche of furries can convince them to stay open longer...)

Scribd's search feature isn't worth beans Sad (It turns up nothing for "doba"!)

Anyway, thanks for pointing that out. I'm glad to see it made it on there, after running into the place last year.

I prefer Chipotle myself, but the nearest one is a bit of a schlep (U of Pitt area), so I have to get my Coke-can-sized-burrito fix at Qdoba Smiling

Both are pretty good as far as healthy eating goes. There aren't many non-heart-attack-inducing options in Pittsburgh, so the few that I'm aware of, I tend to keep close tabs on!

I'll recommend Mike & Tony's Gyros and Shish (which is ONLY going to be available on Thursday and friday!) as having good food... and a rather grim looking serving area. Dark, dingy, just the sort of thing you'd expect from a local eatery that has food so good nobody cares that it doesn't look like they're painted since the 70s. .

We saw nothing but locals eating there. I'm guessing because all the furs looked in the door and saw no seating. The seating is all in BACK. The front section appears to have no seating so as to make sure people can actually get in and out of the place during lunch hour.

I can heartily endorse Cory's! I went in there for a ateak, and wound up with one cheasesteak and something else - can't remember if it was a pastrami or a polish, but something which I saw on the menu and knew I wanted to try.

The place was crowded, and I stood in line for about 15 minutes, but the experience was one of a lot of people behind the counter and at the grill, working to get the orders done right and with the right options (extra mushrooms!), and it seemed to move fast. I took my dinner back to the DoubleTree.

Well - the steak was "Su-poib", and the accompanying sides went very well, Washed down very nicely with a frosty bottle of Coca-Cola. Definitely going to get a couple steaks, this year!

That is definitely an interesting icon you chose, there - hard to tell from the size, but is that by Terrie Smith?

Cory's was one of our favorites last year. Definitely going to stop by again this year.
