You should get in touch with the conference organizer or someone at the front desk of your hotel for some more suggestions. A lot of hotels in major cities (and some not-so-major ones) provide shuttle service as well, which might provide more options for restaurants or a few groceries (if you can't bring a lot with you).

I'd also check out happycow.net to see what might be within walking distance of your hotel. You might find that there's something really close by to go eat at or a veg*n friendly store.

also, maybe a baguette, tomatoes, and avocado. yummy! maybe add some hummus to the sandwich. do they sell any hummus individually packed? i'm not sure.
trail mix, bars, meatless jerky <----that has really saved me.
Also research what's near by in advance

Check out the local phone books for restaurants that deliver to the hotel. Most hotels have menus for places that deliver in the main lobby that even offer discounts for guests. A cheeseless pizza can last awhile without refridgeration than a cheese pizza. Pasta dishes are also great cold if you luck out and have a fridge in your room.
Research the area on the web before you go. Check out happycow.net.
If you bring a can opener you can bring along some cans of beans and soups.

i've done the loaf of bread & peanut butter & jelly before. actually, i've done it for just about every road trip.

I know Sabra makes little containers of hummus. They're about the same size as a little serving of ranch or caramel dip or something like that.
I've used many of the suggestions above; add the fridge and all is good.
Fairmont Hotels offer vegan options for a price
http://www.thisdishisvegetarian.com/...n-options.html.
I hope this means others will start offering meals like this too.
Hotels deal with travelers from all over the world, with eating habits more unusual than veganism. Their job is to take care of people away from home. They can handle it. I may end up paying $20 for that, but it does work. Plus you know any restaurant will have salad stuff in the kitchen. And fresh fruit. The menu may show everything slathered in meat or dairy, just tell them how you'd like it made.
And I travel with a suitcase filled with food. Apples, bananas, oranges, peanut butter, bagels, crackers, chips, cold cereal, instant oatmeal, Annie Chuns bowls, lara bars, plastic utensils and paper plates.

I'm surprised you don't want to wander around in a strange city...to me, that's the most fun part! Still, you can venture out with a plan by simple checking Google for nearby restaurants and then checking their menus. Another option is to Google the nearest grocery store. That way, you may find you can pick up food while you're there instead of having to pack it before you leave.

Agreed! I love exploring strange/unfamiliar cities and also checking out all the different restuarants/cuisines. But if time and transportation are an issue than I get why it wouldn't be so convenient

Or if it's a city suffering urban sprawl (too spaced out).

I wrote an entire cookbook on traveling with a mini blender and minimum foods when I went to Europe for a month. However, I had access to a coffee pot in most case; sometimes a frig; always ice; and also sometimes a hot plate. But here are some ideas. If you take a mini blender, I really like my Hamilton Beach, costs around $15. and takes up very little space. You can also take a really small soft side collapsible lunch bag with a ice pack included. Again this takes up very little space and provides you with enough space to store at least two meals worth of ingredients. For a week end here is a typical grocery list:2 cups of nuts (you can make nut milks, nut cheese, and nut butters), make at least a medium size bag of veggie crackers before you go, and make up some of your favorite spice mixes before you go, you can add to cheese, or to spice up a salad, Take nutritional yeast at least 1/4 Cup. 1/4 C of rolled oats. Some seeds, like flax, chai, sesame or hemp about a cup of these mixed or matched. A cup of dried fruits. Some sweetener (I only use organic dates, maple syrup, stevia or agave). I also don't drink caffeine so I take some coffee substitutes. You could take a dehydrated smoothie powder with you or make your own before you go. A good smoothie usually kept me pretty full until about 3:00 in the afternoon. Most hotels or restaurants have spinach, apples, lettuce and carrots. So one way or another you can get smoothie ingredients and then just add your own milk and omega 3s for the day. Here is a cheese recipe that I love, it is Ann Wiggins with a twist. Place in your blender 1 C non dairy milk, 1/2 tsp sea salt, 2 TB nutritional yeast, 1/2 C rolled oats, 3 TB lemon juice, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder and blend until creamy. This is great for eating on crackers, or fruit and can be kept cold enough in your lunch bag. You might get a little tried of the same things but you never know what you can come across when traveling. Like you could make a pizza if you find some tomatoes by just adding the tomatoes to the blender with some spices and spreading it on the crackers with the cheese. I am in the process of putting together a road trip food pack to go across country at the moment. Of course I have a car and this is the season to get fruit and veggies on the road. Good luck. I survived in France on nuts and seed for about three days. It was the hardest place to find vegan food. Â

Lastly, make sure you have energy bars or nuts with you at all times so you always have something to eat even when it seems like there's nothing around you can eat.
