Re: [yapc] Restaurants and grociers

	And on a related note, what's the local pub situation?  I'd hate to  
relive my experience at Buffalo: wandering around for twenty minutes  
asking people where the campus pubs were, only to be told that there  
weren't any (it took twenty minutes because I refused to believe the  
first five people who said so).

	Given the thread about wandering the neighbourhood in the dark, I'm  
guessing that neighbourhood pubs are the best idea, outside of large  
groups or during the day.

	Regards,

	Ken Moyle
