Yeah....they have Wolgang Puck food there! Although just a limited menu.

Barking Crab is nearby too, but can get expensive.

the salads at the ICA are good

LTC has good food and a good atmosphere. I think they have live music tonight also. It's down Northern ave. (Gonna cost you at least $20.)
Good for a quick bite is Sebastians (?) at bottom of one of the WTC buildings. They have good, fresh ingredient sandwiches, made to order salads, and fresh crepes with either fruit or meat/cheese inside. (cost $8-$13?)

Anyone have a recommendation for GREAT food near the ICA? I would love to find a place for dinner after the event tonight...

Head over to 33's after for the UV Glow Party! The event starts @ 10:00 PM !!
