Cheap Food: Sub Sandwiches
The sub sandwich may be the perfect convention/meeting food. It’s filling, it’s portable, it comes in a variety of configurations to satisfy all appetites, and some sub shops offer catering of “party sandwiches” that can be set out buffet-style for events.
And, of course, it’s usually relatively cheap. A single meal is going to run less than $10, and possibly less than $5 (depending on how hungry you are and whether you want cold cuts or a hot meal).
So far, I’ve identified four sub sandwich places — all of them chain stores — within a short walk of the Renaissance Grand & Suites. Since they are chains, I’m just going to link to their national web sites (in alphabetical order) so that you can consult menus/prices:
Directions to stores after the jump.
Jimmy John’s
Walk two blocks east from the Renaissance on Washington, hang a right (south) on 6th Street, go three more blocks to Pine, turn left … and you’re there (it’s on the south side of the street, right next to Chili Mac’s Diner). No Google Map for this one — for some reason all directions to Pine Street end up pointing several blocks west. Guesstimate: 0.3-0.4 miles, 5-8 minute walk.
Planet Sub
Head west on Mayfair Plaza (the street separating Renaissance Grand & Suites from the Roberts-Mayfair hotel next door) to 9th Street (this intersection is at the rear of the Renaissance). Turn left (south) on 9th Street and walk three blocks to 211 N. Ninth. It’s 0.2 miles — about a four-minute walk.

Quiznos
From the Renaissance, walk one block east to 7th Street. Turn right (south) and proceed three blocks to Olive Street. Quiznos is at 616 Olive, near the corner of Olive and 7th. 0.2 miles, about a four-minute walk. These instructions do not match the Google map below (there’s currently construction blocking the Google-suggested route, but it may be out of the way by Memorial Day).
