For those interested in coming out the night before the competition, there is a (relatively) new Hilton Garden Inn approximately 1000 feet from the venue. There is a GOOD coffee house (Commonplace Coffee) about two blocks away that sell coffee and light sandwiches/baked goods. Finally, there are a number of nice restaurants along Philadelphia street for after the competition (I recommend the PanAsia Cafe, and Benjamins)
