Otakon 2009/Baltimore

[edgiko]

I'm going to be heading to Otakon 2009 with two of my friends. I have no idea what the eating arrangements will be as the website was of no help, but does anyone know if they do serve food and if it's possibly vegan? It's hinted that they serve food but it just seems pretty unclear to me

I went to Otakon to see L'arc en Ciel in 2004 & I found slim pickings - I wish I had researched
it a bit more -

Oy.That's encouraging. :/

Thank you for the link, however, because that is most helpful.

I've been going there the past few years with my friends. If you mean the convention center, I never even bothered because it was expensive, but there's some places to eat in walking distance. Well, I don't know of any specialty place in the area, but places can usully accommodate.

[edgiko]

Eh, most conventions tend to be rather pricey when it comes to food.

Thank you for your tips though! I haven't been to a big convention like this since Dragon Con back in 2000.

I'm going as well ^_^

I would try this list:

Thank you so much for the link.

vegbaltimore.com has a list of veg friendly places

Also, vegbaltimore's list of locations is kind of confusing. They have "Baltimore" at the top, but lots of the neighboorhoods in Baltimore are listed seperately further down. So if you scroll down, just look at the addresses to see if they are in Baltimore. :-) From the convention center you can walk to the inner harbor, which has tons of listings. If you have a vehicle or want to take a cab (or a water taxi!) Brick Oven Pizza in Fells Point has vegan soy cheese pizza. (and "normal" pizza as well)

You can also get anywhere that the lightrail or subway goes, the lightrail stops right outside the convention center, and lexington market (which has a subway stop) is within walking distance.

Yes it will be at the Convention Center. :D This was extremely helpful, both comments. Thank you. :D

I'll be there! I don't remember there being any vegan food besides fruit in the BCC. I can never remember the name of it, but there's a great middle eastern hookah restaurant nearby that has vegan options.

[edgiko]

I may ask my friend if he knows of the restaurant. He loves Indian food.

And maybe I'll see you there! :D I know the convention is huge but it'd be cool to meet some vegans there. I will be cosplaying as Lisa Lisa from Jojo along with my friends as a group.
