At Realm Makers 2026, dining options close to the conference hotel are readily available.
We understand people with food sensitivities and allergies have a tough time when traveling. We’ll make every effort available to accommodate major allergies with the foods we choose to offer at the awards dinner. Please understand that we cannot customize meals for the large number of people in our community with varying dietary needs. Rule of thumb: if you’re not sure you should eat something we’re serving at the conference, the catering staff is there to help.
Don't forget, everyone who registers for the writers conference gets a seat at the awards dinner on Thursday night--included!
Dining nearby
From sit-down steaks and seafood to a walk up taco joint, there are a great range of dining choice right outside the hotel and conference center.
Of course this is not a comprehensive list of everything available. If you wish to venture farther than the Union Station complex, more dining is within a short drive.
Catered meals at the conference center: TBA
