I've made the walk between downtown and Kingsway many times...it's really not that bad at all. I'd just suggest walking up 109 street. There is actually a hotel right above the city centre mall downtown (I think it's a delta?) as well...and a few decent restaurants around there.
There are also quite a few chain restaurants on 104th avenue, west of 109th street if you're not feeling adventurous. Those are pretty easy walking distance as well. There is also a small little sobeys downtown on jasper ave and I want to say about 105th street. there is also a bigger save-on foods at Jasper and 109th (seriously, do avoid this area on weekend nights...it's a big bar area and there is a large incident about once a month around here)
if you want to watch the game there is a boston pizza on jasper and about 107th. There's also a brewsters on about 104th ave and 113th street.
If you have any questions or I can help you out...feel free to PM me. Bring any monster truck hats, acid wash jeans and tapout shirts you may own to fit in with the locals.
