'Kay, borgosi.
Unfortunately, there isn't a liquor store within walking distance, but there's one only about 5 minutes away if you follow Hollywood Way south to Victory. It's not far at all, but I'm remembering that you can't turn left out of the hotel onto Hollywood Way so you'd have to turn right and then turn around as soon as you can; is that right, Bette?
BTW, if you want something other than the chain restaurants that's still fairly close to the hotel, there's the Ramp:
http://www.garybricsramp.com/ for fish, steak, and a decent bar. The place is on Hollywood Way heading north, just before the 5 freeway. I don't think it's expensive.
Also, by Fest time, a ban on the use of handheld cell phones while driving will have gone into effect!
