lots of restaurants on atwells ave just on the other side of the 95...haven't eaten there in a few years so i can't recommend any names. i could recommend a few good places up on thayer st but if you've never been up college hill by brown univ./RISD it might be easier to go to atwells ave. lots of quick bite to eat places right around there though.

i think you can still get some good food at Ri-Ra and it's in short walking distance of the convention center, most other places you'll end up driving but they're all worth it...what are ya looking for?

Trinity Brewhouse. It's two blocks away and has good food. Great fish and chips. I'll be working at the Kayak Centre booth tomorrow if you want more specific directions. My name is Jonas.

Nothing really in particular. Were from Boston so we dont really know any good places in Rhode Island. We like any type of food we dont want anything fancy just a good place to get a burger or slice of pizza. Thanks for the help guys.

Up off Atwells ave., on the other sde of route 95 from the convention center are 2 of the better pizza places in the area. Bob and Timmy's on Spruce st. has great pizza and sandwiches. It's a hidden gem in Federal Hill. Caserta's pizzeria is up in Federal Hill also and has good pizza. A little overrated in my opinion, but others seem to love it.
If you like Cuban food, try Cuban Revolution on Aborn St. downtown. Some of the best sandwiches I've ever had and it's easy walking distance from the show.

if you come out the front door and go across the street, on the corner of washington and mathewson is murphy's. walk another block down and there is local 121 and across the street blake's. there is also trinity that has already been mentioned. on the same road as trinity on empire a couple of blocks down there is a great burrito place called tequila pacifica if ur into that. on atwells there is a million places such as bob and timmy's already mentioned, ricottas if you just want to grab a grinder. there is also a starbucks in the hilton on the corner and above that is shula's bar and grill. in the mall there are a bunch of places such as uno's, fire + ice, and the cheesecake factory. across from the mall is the chris ruth steak house in the g-tech building. so as you can see there are a million different places to eat around here any choice would be great! o and if u walk out of the convention center and take a left go straight up exchange and after the courtyard marriott on the left there is union station brewery and capital grill(you have to go down a set of stairs).
