"You’ve been stuck listening to panel discussions for hours and when they finally end, you need dinner as soon as possible, but at a restaurant other than the three within walking distance. Take a quick ride to Sparrow + Wolf (about 10 minutes from most of the convention centers). You’ll find creative dishes like duck with seared foie gras and salted plum, and beef cheek and bone marrow dumplings with lemon ash, as well as cocktails made with things like hazelnut orgeat and mulled wine syrup. The majority of the small plates are under $20, but they can add up, so this is best with a group that’s willing to share." - milena difiore
