Everyone’s gotta eat… and we like to make sure our attendees have plenty of options! The following is a brief guide to all of your food options for Gallifrey One.
- Social Market Cafe is the Marriott’s coffee shop, which prepares food from various local and regional California suppliers, and is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Hours of operation: 6:00am to Midnight.
- Hangar 18 is the Marriott’s lobby bar & restaurant. It features a full bar, plus some of the same fare as the Social Market restaurant. Hours of operation: 11:30am to Midnight.
- J.W.’s is the hotel’s steakhouse. Reservations are required as in years past. J.W.’s is on the pricey side but the food is definitely worth it! Hours of operation: 5:00pm to 10:00pm.
- Starbucks is open daily in the Marriott lobby for coffee, drinks, pastries and snacks. Note that the lines for Starbucks can be long in the morning (there are also Starbucks at the Residence Inn and Sheraton Gateway hotels!) Hours of Operation: 5:00am to 5:00pm.
- Food trucks are once again returning to the convention center patio all three days of the convention! We will have details on our food trucks shortly before the event.
There are multiple food options in the local area including Jersey Mike’s Subs and Z Pizza in the Residence Inn a block west of the Marriott; Trimana coffee shop in the business tower right across Airport Blvd. from the Marriott (note: closed Sunday); Carl’s Jr. fast food just east of the Hilton & Parking Spot garage; and and there are restaurants at the Crowne Plaza LAX, Four Points Sheraton, Embassy Suites, Renaissance LAX and other hotels. Further afield, several blocks east of the hotel (anywhere from 10 to 20 minute walk) are Denny’s, Subway, McDonald’s, the Daily Grill at the Westin, and others.
In order to provide our attendees a large outdoor space to eat and mingle, as well as to aid those waiting for service by our food trucks, the outdoor convention patio is completely NON-SMOKING. This includes the ramp area around the food trucks.
Smokers may use the designated area right outside the front doors on the hotel lobby level or other outdoor areas, but not near the convention patio or food trucks. Thank you for your cooperation.
Finally… the Marriott LAX welcomes food deliveries to sleeping rooms, including pizza and items delivered by GrubHub, Doordash, Uber Eats and Postmates. If you are staying at the hotel, feel free to order food to be delivered to you.
Note: Marriott restaurants will NOT allow large groups to hold additional seats for people who are “coming soon”; parties must be complete before they will be seated.
