+## Dining
+
+Eindhoven has a variety of restaurants near the city center or close to the PSV Stadium.
+Many are within walking distance of the stadium or city center, but there are a few things to consider.
+
+
+* Spontaneous dining is possible, but not for 30+ people. Be sure to _make a reservation_!
+  If you need help ask the organizers.
+* Transportation is easier by bike, we recommended to rent a bike if you want to cover more area
+* Most places have vegetarian options although a bit limited.
+* You can find food near the stadium at "Strijp-S" (pronounces _stripe_ - S) and the city center, which are the larger areas.
+  There are other areas called Wilhelminaplein and Victoria Park also close to the stadium, they are a bit smaller but cozier.
+  There are other restaurants besides those places, but they might not be at a walking distance (~10min walk), but might be 
+  reachable by bike or car ... 
+* During weekdays many restaurants will close around midnight or earlier.
+* Fridays are generally busy, _definitely_ make a _reservation_!
+
+You can find a lot of recommendations [here](https://www.thisiseindhoven.com/en/see-and-do/food-and-drinks)
+
+As a reference, here is a non-exhaustive list of recommended places:
+
+* City Center
