I just went there last week for a conference. Man there's tons of development going on. Road construction, looks like a new building being built every 3-4 blocks. I usually hit all the food joints when I visit a place. Thought all there was going to be was grade A bbq. Was I mistaken, food scene is amazing, would rate near same caliber as SF (and as expensive). Hotel rates are crazy, spoke with some locals and they said it's cause of all the conferences. Averaged ~300 a night (fri-thurs).
