So you're a basketball fan at the state tournament, and there's a bit of a wait before the next game starts. If you're ready for a meal and you're tired of the concession-stand fare, the metro Des Moines area has more than 600 restaurants.
However, if you don't want the hassle of getting your wrap from the coat check and losing your great parking spot, just head off on foot from the arena through the skywalk system. The list at right includes many of the dining establishments downtown that can be reached on the skywalks, without even putting on a coat.
Of course, there are even more restaurants downtown that can be reached by foot if you are willing to venture outside, but we're trying to make it easy on you visitors so you'll come back.
