Tons of people! That's why those damn chains are always so busy. Marketing over food. Oh well, it leaves more room for us at the good restaurants.

I forgot about asking concierges for good, cheap eating. I tend to do that as well. They usually know the hidden-away local places, no matter the level of property. If I'm not eating great food, my wallet likes me to eat cheap food instead!
