[CALIBK12] CONFERENCE EATS #3

[Coopka at aol.com]

So, you've had a busy day attending sessions at the California School  
Library Association's Conference and you want to sit down to dinner - not eat on  
the run. Several of the previously mentioned restaurants let you do that, but  
other possibilities abound in the area. Perhaps you're in the mood for  Asian...
 
The Conference Center is at 13th/14th and J/K. Right up on the corner at  
16th and J is P.F. Chang's _www.pfchangs.com_ (http://www.pfchangs.com)  , which 
has locations  across the United States, and is open for lunch and dinner as 
well as take-out  (if you just want to order something to take back to your 
room and put your feet  up!) Around the corner, on 16th between J and K, is 
locally owned Mikuni's _www.mikunisushi.com_ (http://www.mikunisushi.com) , where 
you can enjoy  sushi, tempura, vegetarian options and more. Also near, open for 
lunch and  dinner, are Zen Sushi - located at 15th and I, Megami Bento-Ya at 
1010 10th  St. - just off J,  Sakura Teppan and Sushi at 9th and J and Taiko  
at  10th and K. Note that some of these do a large lunch business due to  
location and/or reputation. Previously mentioned Ma Jong's is Asian, but  has no 
wait staff, you order and collect your own. Dragonfly at 18th and Capitol  (M) 
offers Asian "tapas" as well as sushi and Thai dishes.
 
Perhaps Italian is more interesting to you. Lucca _www.luccarestaurant.com_ 
(http://www.luccarestaurant.com)  is  located at 1615 J - across the street and 
half a block from P.F. Chang's. Up at  19th and J is The Old Spaghetti 
Factory _www.osf.com_ (http://www.osf.com)  , a little bit of a walk -  preferably 
with several people. If it's more of a neighborhood pizza and pasta  place 
you'd like - Paesano's _www.paesanos.biz_ (http://www.paesanos.biz)  may be just 
the thing  at 18th and Capitol (M) - again, walk with some friends.
 
Food for thought? We'll be back next weekend!
