Subway across the street
Giant across the street (salad bar/panini sandwiches) - decent
JP Pizzeria across the street (beer on tap - pretty good pizza, great place to go after an 0-2 start *I know from experience!*)
Chinese restaurant across the street - mediocre at best IMO, but some people really like it...
McDonalds - 5 min walk or 1 min drive

Aside on prizes :As someone who plays tournaments A LOT more often than I run tournaments, I appreciate a fair, well thought-out prize pool where players aren't being screwed over in order for the TO to make a buck or two. Though in all fairness, it's really difficult to create a prize pool that's fair for everyone, but I gave it my best shot - hope everyone agrees that this looks pretty good :)

Good to hear, should be pretty awesome! Anyone else?

Edit: Also, got word yesterday that some of the NoVA and Baltimore crews will be in attendance in addition to ~10ish locals. Turnout should be pretty good; I definitely wouldn't be suprised if we get 30 people

Report from 9/12 Legacy at Thanks for Playing

Save for a minor pairings debacle in Round 3 (a match from round 2 was entered improperly, and a player who wanted to drop wasn't dropped) the tournament went well and fun was had by all!
