"If you’re trying to satisfy a huge, hungry, and indecisive group (lucky you!), come to North Market, which is just a 20-minute walk to the stadium. They have more than 25 vendors, so you can get tonkatsu ramen at Satori Ramen Bar, Tibetan dumplings at Momo Ghar, or Hot Chicken Takeover’s near-perfect fried chicken. You cannot leave without a waffle cone from the original Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream scoop shop, too. The Barrel & Bottle is also a great pregame spot where you can sip some local craft beer or glass of wine. Plus, you won’t have to wait in the unwieldy beer line at Lower.com Field." - erin edwards

"This crowded public market is home to at least 30 independently-owned food counters, which makes it a great place to eat and shop with a group. While your friend wanders off for a slice of pizza or giant Bavarian pretzel, you can get in line for Himalayan dumplings at Momo Ghar or a Somali spread from Hoyo’s Kitchen. Reconvene at a table outside or upstairs, then end your meal with cones of Brambleberry Crisp or Salty Caramel at the original Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream. Before you leave, you might as well stock up on locally made olive oil, coffee beans, a few Ohio cheeses and artisan fruit preserves from Black Radish Creamery, or a bag of cinnamon pecans from the American Nut Company. The downtown location has been around for nearly 150 years, and is an easy walk from the convention center." - erin edwards, kindra peach
