Ladies and Gentlemen, I am a Houstonian. Houstonians love food, we DEMAND food be close and quickly available. I have not found this here. Pesco is angry.....

Mattimeo had this to say about Captain Planet:
Things in Baltimore are very similar to houston, food readilly available, usually till like 9-10, and some places (wendys, Tacobell) are open till like, 4AM. It's great.
I lived near there not too long ago. Just a bit south, in Crofton.
Nice place, Crofton.
I liked Annapolis better than Baltimore, though.

In Manhattan, it's different. About one in four buildings in downtown or midtown Manhattan have at least one eatery on the ground floor. Uptown, where the buildings are less than 40 stories, you might walk two or three blocks to find someplace to eat. But that's about it. After all, they never have a shortage of customers 
What's the deal?
EDIT: yes, I know there is a bagel place in the hotel. But the line was out the door. [ 01-24-2002: Message edited by: Gydyon Waterlapper ]

Well pfft.... I talked to the Vallet parking dude about where to get food. He said I'd have to hop a train to the other side of town. OMG WTF... These people need to learn how to eat. I am SO going straight to hili's when I get back to Houston
Dude, you're so taking me with you. I want ribs!

Word, yo. 24 hour food places are awesome. I praise Whataburger for their efforts!-Tok
Whataburger..I miss whataburger..quality fast food. Texas style
Downtown Dallas, unless you're in a building connected to the Catacombs, has jack for food. There was one building I worked in down there (when I did time at Internet America) that had a pretty kickass little italian place across the street, but they closed at like 6 or so. If we wanted anything after the sun went down we either sent someone for it (there was one guy we gave the e-mail address of would.you.like.fries.with.that@airmail.net to.. regular runs to Miami Subs) or we ordered pizza.
Now, out in North BFE Dallas where I am, there's 3 subways, a McHell, Toxic Hell, KFC, Burger Street, Wendy's, 2 Jack in the Boxes, Toxic Bueno, Arbys, 4 or 5 pizza delivery places (Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and Papa John's) as well as a few 'speciality delivery' places.
This is in addition to the resturaunts on the edges of the Tollway.
The Spasso deliveries were always good though. Gator Pizza... hehehe
And of course the cursed coke machines in the break room. 4 coke machines, 8 slots each. Each machine was 4 slots of MtDew and 4 slots of "Other Crap". Basically 2 whole machines dedicated to MtDew. And you never heard anyone so pissed as when one of thoes machines ran empty on Dew....

You forgot the Taco Cabana runs at IA.
There was also the random whataburger run - depending on exactly what time you were going. I think Miami Subs closed by 3am.
Taco Cabana is EVIL!
Never trust a pink burrito. NEVER.
And as for reccomended Texas Fodd..
Butcher Boys, in Nac. Even from Houston it's worth the drive.

Locate the nearest college. Unless there's some weird ass ordinance, all sorts of places will be open around colleges at all hours. That's what I love about my town. if I want a pizza or a taco or a burger at 3am, I can put on some clothes and go out for my artery-clogger of choice.
Hrm...he's in downtown, so it'll be a bit of a trip to SMU.
Yeah...my house is r33t in location to food stuff, we're right where the high dollar stuff meets the cheapo SMU stuff.

Never been there. Sounds both confusing, and frightening..
Overstuffed Baked Potato and 2 Meatball Sandwiches.
Damned $15 pre-tax minimums.
