Snack and Food Options Near the Ballroom on Break

by

Breaks are a great time to grab a bite to eat while you are away from the action and our food options have expanded. It is a short walk to Constant Grind (across from the Buffet) where they have a full menu of breakfast sandwiches, lunch sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.

But the real treat is the new addition of sushi rolls from Kuro. One of the best-rated restaurants around, you can now grab a Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado, or California roll to go. They are a popular choice and in limited supply so be sure to pick some up on your break.

Breakfast Sandwiches
Croissant, Bacon, Gouda, Scrambled Eggs
Whole Egg, Cheddar Cheese, Toasted Bagel
Chicken Breast, Tomato Pesto, Egg White, Arugula, Parmesan, Spinach Wrap
Scrambled Egg, Chorizo Sausage, Bell Pepper, Green Onion, Potato, Flour Tortilla
