Where can we go to eat before or after the concert?
There are a number of restaurants in the area, especially on South Craig Street. When you come out of Synod Hall, turn right on South Craig, cross Fifth Avenue (first light) and keep walking. The restaurants start about a half a block after the light, and go all the way down to Forbes Avenue. There are casual and fine dining restaurants and lots of different kinds of food including American, Thai, Indian, Middle Eastern, and Italian. Enjoy!
