And food trucks near the Convention Center?

[Disneyfreak]

I will be there for a convention in a few days and will be stuck during lunch hours. Is there anything close by where I could grab a quick bite?

Thanks!

Baguette Box, 1203 Pine - Quirky, tasty, fresh, fusion
George's Sausage & Delicatessen 907 Madison - Crowded with 4 people. Grilled to order meat sandwiches, soups. German and Polish specialties. Reuben is gooey but fun and good.
It's a sweet route, from the 4th floor N lobby exit into Freeway Park and quickly up the ramp/stairs at the main cataract, up to 9th Avenue and then 3 blocks south to Madison.
Exit onto Pike street and a few blocks to 1124 Howell St is Markethouse Meats. Corned beef and nothing but. Sandwich the size of a lunchbucket.

About a 1/2 mile away on Howell is Market House Meats. They make a really good corned beef sandwich. The bread could be improved but the corned beef is worth the walk.

Disagree. I'm usually not a hater, but it's unclear to me how people can keep claiming this as a good corned beef sandwich. I've been a couple of times and appreciate its old-school-nature and might go back again (just out of a sense of a supporting a long-time Seattle business) but their meat is dry and overly salty.

[mrnelso]

I guess all I remember from our visit (we never went back) was the bad bread and the HUGE MEAT. Though I do think I'd remember if the meat was bad, we never did go back.

[knowspicker]

Maybe a consistency problem.. I've only been for a sandwich one time and that time the meat was good. But I also grew up eating their corned beef at home so may be skewed by nostalgia.

[GreenYoshi]

I don't know... I've been three times over the past 5 years or so and each time the meat's been stringy (cut the wrong way), kind of dry (not helped by the "with-the-grain" cutting) and just not particularly tasty.

The crepe stand on pike street just outside the convention center is actually pretty good, unlike everything else within a block, fwiw.

Your best bet might be to hop on the SLUT (South Lake Union Trolley--oh, sure, the city insisted on renaming it the South Lake Union Streetcar when they finally noticed the acronym) and head over to the South Lake Union neighborhood. It's a short ride (15 minutes, end-to-end) and it will take you to an area where there's an ever-changing array of trucks. Use LotusRapper's link and select the South Lake Union neighborhood to see who's there each day, and their exact locations.
