Where to Eat: SXSW 2009
The trio of SXSW Festivals and Conferences (Music, Film, and Interactive), best described as Spring Break for geeks, kicks off this weekend in Austin, Texas. Maybe you've already decided which panels, screenings, shows, and parties you'll be attending—or not. That's OK, there are more pressing concerns like, where are you going to eat?
The SXSW Baby! Guide: Where to Eat During SXSW 2009, has all the answers. Originally compiled and written by Kathryn Yu, a SXSW veteran and a serious eater, this year's edition has been updated by Jessica Reynolds and Brad Graham. Restaurants included meet the top criteria of hungry festival-goers: close proximity to the Convention Center, easily accessible by foot, cheap, fast, and tasty. You can find all their picks on the handy Google Map they've created:

Serious eaters in town should probably travel north to the Asian district for Din Ho Chinese BBQ, Lily's Vietnamese Sandwich, and about 800 other noodle houses.

Best NYC style pizza in Austin is at Slices and Ices on Guadalupe! Seriously.

It's hard to stray too far from downtown when you have 1.5 hours to grab lunch between panels, no car, and everybody is trying to grab lunch at the same time.

Threadgill's for comfort food and Texadelphia for a Texas Phiily cheesesteak!

Mighty Cone needs to be on this list! This new trailer is brought to you by the guys from Hudson's on the Bend and just opened yesterday. It's right next door to Hey Cupcake on South Congress. And let's not forget about Lulu B's on South Lamar for a serious Banh Mi Thit.
