Best Place to Take Your ParentsCollege Prowler Take
With their busy schedules, most Babson students can only find time for off-campus dining on the weekends. To relax and enjoy a day at the mall and an awesome lunch, students head to the Atrium Mall on Route 9 East. This cute plaza contains clothes stores like Abercrombie & Fitch and J.Crew, in addition to the famous Cheesecake Factory. It’s best to go there for a Sunday brunch with parents or a dinner with friends. There are also other restaurants in the area, but Mexican is an option the Wellesley area lacks. That’s when you should take your best friend or someone who you don’t mind sharing a car with for 20 minutes and drive into Boston. Leaving campus to dine out is usually a rare pleasure for students, so enjoy it when you can! The monotony of campus dining can drive anyone to stop enjoying the food at college. The yearning for diversity in food should make even the most studious student try out at least some of the copious places in Wellesley, Boston, and on Route 9 in between the two. The one downside is that students are usually too swamped with homework during the week to be able to enjoy a few hours away from campus, but that’s what weekends are for. Start by exploring the local dining area because there are many tasty options, and they’re not too far from campus. Students Speak Out

Wellesley has lots of family restaurants. And if what you’re looking for isn’t in Wellesley, you can find almost any other type of dining in neighboring towns such as Needham and Framingham. |

I don’t get to eat out a bunch, but I like Anna’s Taqueria. Figs is good, too, but it’s on the expensive side. There is almost no time for me to go out for dinner, but I sometimes go Scorpian Bowling in Boston with my friends. |

Bertucci’s is really close, and Domino’s always delivers, which is important. Several other local pizza and sub places are near as well, so there are plenty of food choices in the Wellesley area. Domino’s delivery service seems like they personally know me, because they have a computer system that picks up people who made previous orders. It’s cool that they have such a close tie to Babson, because it saves time ordering food. |

Blue Ginger is in downtown...
Blue Ginger is in downtown Wellesley, and it’s a little on the pricey side, but offers excellent food. The Lemon Thai restaurant is also an awesome place to eat and good for the money. It’s my new love! |
