The Chopping Block in the Mercado Plaza is within walking distance of the Convention Center and they have excellent steaks. I highly recomment them. Baker aslo mentioned one of my favorites, Del Fresco. Great steaks there, but I disagree with the unpretentious comment. They are good but pricey. Reminds me of the N.Y. Athletic Club.

There are hundreds of watering holes. If you want a local bar with several pool tables, darts and maybe a band sometimes, there's the Orena in the shopping center behind the Steak & Ale off International Drive down closer to Sea World, but still within walking distance of the Convention Center.

Please tell me though, what are the dates of this show and where is the preregistration website?
