Nearby Chinatown has great food - favorites is E Mei (one of the best in US). DaMo nearby is really good fast Italian.

Forgot the tips! Yes, the Reading Terminal Market is in the same building at the convention center. A must visit location, but will be crowded. Nearby, check out Federal Donuts for morning coffee and amazing donuts (also the fried chicken)

Take a walk and visit the City Hall Christmas Village

Will be great to see you there! I am pretty sure I remember getting to play an early version of Harrow County at SHUX that year and of course Mind MGMT (which I first saw at Unplugged iirc…)

In addition to their website saying they are looking to “understand the true nature of the universe” (hubris much?) the chatbot is “inspired by“ Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Can’t imagine DNA being happy with that - he would have hated Musk I suspect.

How about Spring Meadow or the other pentomino games in Uwe Rosenberg’s series? All pretty light. Reef is fun. And, I like Arboretum too but while rules are easy, scoring is a bit of a brain burner
