Information overload isn’t the only source of anxiety for RSA attendees. Talking security all day can work up an appetite, but the conference crowds downtown make finding a table more difficult than passing a compliance audit. We consulted with our local gourmands to provide recommendations for convenient downtown eateries. Fuel up at these nearby SF favorites so you don’t miss any of the great educational sessions.
Breakfast
Veteran conference goers know sometimes a granola bar doesn’t cut it. To fuel up for a full-day at RSA, you may opt for a hearty breakfast. Trace at the W Hotel, Boulange, and Café Venue all offer more substantial dishes with unbeatable proximity.
