18 Hours in Munich
I have 18 hours to myself on a Saturday night in Munich.
I'm traveling alone, staying at the Marriott Munich (on Berliner Strasse). Any suggestions for a first-timer to enjoy Saturday night sites?
Looking for a good people-watching area to walk around and with a not too fancy place to eat dinner.

There's a lot of shops/restaurants/etc around the Münchner Freiheit plaza (in the Schwabing district).
From the Marriott, if you like walking and the weather is good, it's walkable, or you could take the U-Bahn (U6) one stop down to the station of the same name.
(Note: the Münchner Freiheit station is being rebuilt and there are periodic closures - the MVV site says until November 23rd):

I did some Mileage Runs to MUC last year, and the thread I started evolved into a life of its own. You may want to check it out:

I second the suggestions for BMW World, Marienplatz, etc. Too bad you'll be missing the Christmas Markets. You may also want to see what shows/performances will be happening, there's a few theaters there.

Depending on the time of day, a trip out to Dachau would be worthwhile. A couple of years ago I took an English language tour out to the camp on a Sunday afternoon. The tour began right at the Marienplatz.
