We'll be staying at the Marriott Springhill Suites on Van Buren (it's fine, stayed there several times), and if the lines are really long and we just don't feel like waiting (we've already been twice), where else could we go within just a few block area? Any kind of food, very casual. Fri Jun 13 16:22:47 -0700 2008 124343 Eujeanie 1 3779046 The Teeter House and the Rose and Crown Pub are both directly across from Bianco in Heritage Square. Fri Jun 13 16:28:41 -0700 2008 3779034 11583 ipsedixit 1 3779055 Within a few blocks of your hotel: Los Dos Molinos -- New Mexican La Tolteca -- Mexican, very casual order-at-the-counter place Rose & Crown -- British pub Mrs. White's Golden Rule -- soul food; lunch only A little farther away, but potentially worth the walk The Breadfruit -- Jamaican The Roosevelt -- American pub with craft beer Thai Elephant Kincaid's -- steak and seafood chain; not innovative, but has never failed me Fri Jun 13 16:34:26 -0700 2008 3779034 26466 silverbear 2 3779061 Wow, thanks. I think we'd try the 2 right in Heritage Park since we walk over from the Marriott, that will be very convenient. Funny, but I never saw any other restaurants - just a museum or two. Are they readily visible in the park? Fri Jun 13 16:38:11 -0700 2008 3779055 124343 Eujeanie 3 3779614 Rose & Crown should be visible - you just have to look beyond the throngs waiting at PB. We met friends there a few months ago and had some pretty good pub food. I'm a huge PB fan, but it was fun mocking everyone standing in the two-hour line. Fri Jun 13 21:20:06 -0700 2008 3779061 13915 mamamia 4 3888608 I had dinner at the Rose & Crown pre concert last night. If you simply want a nice selection of beers by the pint, this is your place. But the food is quite bad. Makes the worst pub grub in the UK look and taste good. Mon Jul 21 13:27:37 -0700 2008 3779614 203408 wrightp 5 3910441 Thanks, I've been curious about the food over there. Where *is* a good place to go around here for Brit pub grub, anyway?

Fri Jun 13 19:30:32 -0700 2008 3779034 141035 oryza 2 3780243 I agree that Pane Bianco is great, but at 4+ miles away, it falls a bit outside of the few-block radius Eujeanie appears to be considering. Sat Jun 14 09:37:18 -0700 2008 3779417 86822 hohokam 3 3780363 We definitely want the pizza again, but it really depends on how crazy long the line is...the pub sounds perfect, thanks everyone. And I didn't realize Pane was in a completely different part of town - does Chris spend his days there and his nights at Pizza? Yikes, what a life. Sat Jun 14 10:33:16 -0700 2008 3780243 124343 Eujeanie 4 3780656 By Phoenix standards, Pizzeria Bianco and Pane Bianco are relatively close (about four miles apart). Pizzeria Bianco is at Heritage Square in the heart of Downtown; Pane Bianco is at the north end of Midtown. And, yes, he's visible at Pane during the day and at Pizzeria Bianco at night. Sat Jun 14 13:16:47 -0700 2008 3780363 26466 silverbear 1 3902305 Cibo's is close, and great food! Here's the link....
