Thank you. Love Amelie’s we ate there like 3 times last yearOf course! Amelie's is a cute cafe and bakery and it's open late. (Like 7am to midnight I think.) They've got coffee, breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, salads, beer, wine and AMAZING pastries. I 100% recommend even if it's not for a full meal. Get the salted caramel brownie, it's famous.
Some of my faves around the convention center: Cowbell (burgers), Duckworths (sports bar), Valhalla (small Irish pub), JJ's (gourmet hot dogs). Right across College Street there's a soul food restaurant called Merts. I personally have not tried it but I've heard great things. There's also a Fuel Pizza where you can get pizza by the slice. If you've got a little bit of time to kill walk a couple blocks to the Epicentre for a few more chain restaurants and some shopping and nightlife. Romare Bearden Park is close by and very pretty when the weather is nice.
