Ooo, awesome! i checked on Yelp, and there seems to be a gazillion
places within walking distance from the RA venue. Doublechecked with
EastBayExpress, then tried to narrow down the list:

How can we *not* go here? :D
I quote:

velvet red walls and naked Victorian lady paintings and Tiffany lamps

Yeyeye!
These places seems great too, plus I'm sure there are lots of other
great ones - maybe it's a shame not to go for oriental flavours when
we're stopping by that 'hood?


Spices 3

Apparently 2 ways of spelling this place, but both get excellent reviews :P

NB! Cash only!!!! But open 'til midnight.
Sichuan-Taiwanese. Looks really REALLY good you guys! ("A John Woo
Kind of Joint")


Battambang Restaurant

EBX sez they're the best Cambodian restaurant in the Bay Area, BUT
(from Yelp) it seems they use Fish Sauce even in the veggie courses,
which rules this one out if anyone attending doesn't eat fish.


Shan Dong Restaurant
http://www.yelp.com/biz/DceTpSF9RJ9PBvfX-_EImQ
http://restaurants.eastbayexpress.com/search/restaurants.php?oid=4286

Looks good, and I love that I can check out their menu online >.<
Open 'til 10.


Phnom Penh House
http://www.yelp.com/biz/BIAvMuRWS_WWmTjK_qBh2g
http://restaurants.eastbayexpress.com/search/restaurants.php?oid=20273
Vietnamese/thai, 4 blocks from the club, great reviews...
Closes @ 9:30 tho' - maybe a bit too early for pre-club?


Chef Lau's
http://restaurants.eastbayexpress.com/search/restaurants.php?oid=4609
http://www.yelp.com/biz/rzqST0cNfePmK5Xaj5o6PQ
Specialices in Cantonese seafood.
Open 'til 9:30 (what's with that anyways?!)


Core Lounge
http://www.yelp.com/biz/CMtmTQrat9j8W1PD6IX74w
Korean. Bring yer wireless laptops! Heheheh... They have 1 small & 1
larger private rooms - the larger one with Karaoke machine & intercom
to the kitchen!


Ichiro

Supposedly not-too-expensive but fab sushi


Golden Lotus Restaurant
http://www.yelp.com/biz/xrfNNIUAl2588mwyRtvH-w
http://restaurants.eastbayexpress.com/search/restaurants.php?oid=4171
Seems to be a well known place for vegetarian food. I like eating
meat, but this looks good too.


Breads of India & Gourmet Curries
http://www.yelp.com/biz/dlsxCQ2MmEubTQen7OUykQ
http://restaurants.eastbayexpress.com/search/restaurants.php?oid=339802
I'll have Indian any time, and "gourmet curries" sounds awesome, but a
place that sounds fairly gluten-based might not be the best pick?
Oh - and, another 9:30'er... Pfft!
