+# Dining
+
+The School provides [some catered meals](meals.md) as a group,
+and you are on your own for others.
+
+When on your own,
+there are many dining options in Madison between the School and your hotel,
+especially on State Street which is only blocks away from both locations.
+
+Restaurants right on and very near to the Capitol Square, onto which the hotel faces,
+tend to be a little more expensive.
+As you go toward campus on State Street or neighboring streets, prices tend to go down.
+But of course, there are exceptions in both directions!
+It is reasonable to ask to see a menu before ordering or being seated and decide whether to stay.
+
+## Food Options Near the Hotel
+
+Use a mapping app or rating services like Yelp to look food options.
+For example:

+## Food Options Near the School
+
+There are not a lot of great food options very close to the School,
+but feel free to ask School staff for suggestions.

+# Meal Information
+
+The School includes some group catered meals for all participants:
+
+*   Sunday (Aug. 4) — welcome dinner
+*   Monday (Aug. 5) – Friday (Aug. 9) — breakfast and lunch each day
+*   Friday (Aug. 9) — closing dinner
+
+Other meals not listed above are on your own.
+
+If you are **not** a member of the UW–Madison community,
+we will reimburse you for the on-your-own meals,
+Monday through Thursday dinners;
+see below for details.
+Sorry, UW–Madison folks: The rules say that we cannot reimburse you for meals here.
+
+For the meals on your own, you are welcome to join other participants and even staff!
+We can help with ideas and groups, if you like.
+There is [another page](dining.md) with suggestions for finding dining options near the School and hotel.
+
+## Catered Meals
+
+The catered breakfasts and lunches during the School (see above)
+will be served in the Computer Sciences Building.
+Breakfast is in the main auditorium, [room 1240](location.md),
+and lunch is nearby (staff will lead the way on Monday).
+There is nearby seating both inside and outside.
+
+## Menus
+
+The catered meals should take into account all dietary needs that you told us about in the questionnaire.
+Check for labels!
+If you have questions, ask the catering staff (if present) or School staff.
+
+Some items,
+like gluten-free items,
+are provided in low quantities that are meant just for those people who requested them.
+Please do not take them unless they are for you.
+
+We will try to post detailed menus below soon.
+
+## Meal Reimbursement Tips
+
+Again, if you are **not** part of the UW–Madison community,
+we can reimburse you for dinners Monday through Thursday.
+We have curated a page of some possible [dining options](./dining.md) to use as inspiration.
+
+Some tips for successful reimbursements:
+
+*   Keep receipts for your meals – if anything so that you remember how much meals cost!
+
+*   We can reimburse up to $35 for dinner, including tax and tip.
+
+*   If it is not on the receipt, be sure to write the tip amount yourself, so you do not forget.
+
+*   We cannot pay for any alcohol, although non-alcoholic drinks are OK —
+    ideally, pay for alcohol separately.
+
+We will explain the reimbursement process in detail after the School, but the tips above will help.
