Glad to hear you've moved to town!
Ignite sells snacks and drinks for reasonable prices, and also has a cafe/smoothie bar. You're also allowed to bring outside food (messy foods should be eaten away from the computers). Some people order pizza during the gathering, or run out to the local Quizzno's, Wendy's, etc.
See you around
