I wouldn't include restaurants as an "extracurricular activity" Plenty of markets and restaurants in Lancaster in fact it is probably better to walk across the street than stay in the convention center.

Having said that when Fall In was in Gettysburg I always made it a point to visit some part of the battlefield during or after the show.

POLL DESCRIPTION

So, one of the the things my friends and I plan when we attend conventions (weekend ones) are "things outside of the convention".

Example: At the Little Wars convention, we're going to do dinner Friday night at Fogo De Chao, and then stop by a Cigar Lounge. Saturday night, depending on my schedule, I might do dinner at either Bavarian Lodge, like I did last year, or I might try Schnitzel Platz. Sunday comes, and after the convention, a couple of us are going into Chicago to hit an old-school Italian mobster restaurant. For next year, we're gauging interest to try to swing a private tour of the U-505, or do an Chicago Mob tour.

So I guess the question is: "Do you plan for extra curricular events when you are at a convention?"
