Places to eat near Jiffy Lube Live

Going to a concert at Jiffy Lube this weekend. Not at all familiar with that area. Is there anywhere close to the venue to have dinner?

The parking lot. Bring a grill and a cooler.

Seriously, the traffic in and out of there is so heinous, the only way to beat it is to tailgate. Plan on enjoying time by the car both before and after the show, while others are slogging in the traffic jam.

I should add, my info may be old: double-check that tailgating is still allowed. They may have cracked down on it last year or the year before to try to get you inside earlier to buy $8 beers. I stopped going there years ago because the traffic wasn't worth it.

I think they cracked down on tailgating.

This place is great pizza (and other italian food): http://www.pizzanymargherita.com/

Right down the road from The Lube. They have beer/drinks there, too.
