For the more adventurous who wish to have a dining experience (rather than just “eating”) during their trip to Anaheim, the area certainly offers plenty of opportunities for unique experiences and cuisine.
Below is just a small sampling of the available dining options in the area surrounding the Anaheim Convention Center. The Restaurants Reservations Center in the ACC lobby is available to personally assist visitors in selecting and reserving tables
at over 200 area restaurants.
Just a reminder, this listing, along with the hotel restaurant listing from last week, will be available in an easy-to-use MS Word format later today for downloading from the sidebar of Scrapbook Update. Users are invited to either print the document or carry the file with them on their handheld devices for reference in Anaheim.
