This is my favorite trick for finding "other" hotels close to the host 
hotel.

Hi,
I just figured out a slick way to find restaurants close to the host hotel 
here in Buffalo, or anywhere, since we are on foot here.

I went to Yahoo's Yellow pages using the host hotel's fast connection and 
typed in the host hotel's address as the reference location for Yahoo's 
Yellow Pages.  Then asked for restaurants, or it could be any other 
business, and up popped a TON of restaurants sorted alphabetically and by 
distance from the hotel.  If you select a letter, it will provide by 
distance restaurants with the first letter in it's name.  If you want to 
find all the restaurants listed in order by distance, just select ALL and up 
they come.  There are also clickable links for maps.  One warning is to call 
and double check the address is correct, since one restaurant had a 
different address listed on the web versus other directories.  When I called 
to check the correct address, I found that the Yahoo web site had the 
corporate office and not the restaurant listed.  So double check before 
setting out.

See you in Buffalo,

Larry
