I wanted to try Shaan, but when I didn't even have a menu after 20 minutes, and the people at the table next to me were apparently still waiting to order, I left.
I think there must be more places to be persuaded to give an extra. For example: "Das Pi" offered great pizza, burgers and pasta at very reasonable prices and had furries at their tables every day. "hip" and "modern" come to mind to describe it, they seemed like the kind of people that would gladly promote themselves to us.
(too bad the little Thai place was closed for the exact time of the convention, not sure if that a coincidence or not)
