Last year we hit up Vortex pre show, because I like to try the places profiled on Man Vs. Food.
But the place we kinda fell in love with was Da Vinci's. We ended up going there 2-3 times. It is within walking distance, I really loved the calzones and the employees were super nice and seemed very appreciative/receptive to the PP crowd.
I never did make it to Sublime Donuts last year. The cabbie and person working at the hotel had no idea what I was talking about it when I asked. Plus it was a little out of the way without a car. I think we figured out how to use mass transit to get there a little too late. Is it worth me tracking down this year?

Though a bit on the other side of town, my breakfast ritual when going to Atlanta is Ria's Bluebird. Best fucking breakfast ever.

Sublime Donuts is worth the trip. Srsly. Pull it up on your phone maps program and show the cabbie (since they don't like to use their own GPS units). I think you can call in order, too.

Any chance Burger Joe's or My Friends Place came back sometime since last year?
No, sorry my friend.

Thanks Jen!
I think since we are a little more familiar this year, it should be no problem making it there. I think I gained a pound or two just drooling over their website.

Once I discovered Vespucci's last year, I couldn't go anywhere else. By the end of the weekend, I'd given them an absurd level of patronage (and was on a first name basis with them).
Good food, low price, great service, fast, nearby. I heartily endorse.

Thanks, I've looked at that place a few times but never made it in. Great review!
Jen, forgive me if I missed it on the page - awesome job thanks SO much but is the Latin/Cuban place next to Vespucci's still there? That guy was awesome. Offered us all a money back guarantee on our food if we didn't like it.

I'll give a 2nd for Nan Thai - really good. Thanks for the reminders of what's good near the venue.
Any info on what the Vinyl will be serving this year?
Also, what's the policy on bringing food in to the venue this year? Last year we brought lunch in on Friday no problem but that wasn't allowed on Saturday.
My wife has a bunch of food allergies so it takes a bit of planning to get her fed.
Thanks!

I have asked for the menu a few times, but it is not finalized. You should expect it to be very similar to last year.
As for the policy, you cannot bring food or drink into the venue. I would think that protein bars and smaller items in purses would not be bothered with by security though (just my opinion as I have no say over any of that.

Can't speak to purses, but protein bars in pockets have never raised any suspicion.
Tangential question - is there a plan to have water coolers out again this year?
Harvester
The Promoter
I will ask, but that is strictly a venue decision. If bar sales are good, it will probably be out. If not, bottled water is probably going to be the option.
