Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

You’ll find more than your fair share of scrumptious eateries in Boston. Plant eaters take note: Vegan and vegetarian restaurants aren’t as available here as in California or New York. However, a new sushi restaurant recently opened in Cleveland Circle, providing a fresh alternative to burgers and pizza. Fresh seafood, surprisingly flavorful Mexican, and incredible Italian food can be found within walking distance from campus. Commonwealth Avenue runs adjacent to campus, and you can find a couple of above-average eateries there. Flatbreads serves amazing sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The wrap-maker there is a wizard at making sandwiches efficiently and effectively. On the other side of the T depot is Mr. G’s College Sub Shop, which certainly isn’t Subway, but isn’t a bad alternative to eating in the dining hall either. Espresso Royale Caffe has great pastries and an enjoyable atmosphere.

Travel a few minutes on the T down to Cleveland Circle, and you’ll find several delicious off-campus dining establishments. Roggie’s has an incredible atmosphere. CitySide Bar & Grille is the real gem of Cleveland Circle, with incredible salads, huge entrees, and a fantastic upstairs deck swarming with people, especially during the warmer months. Cleveland Circle is also home to Thai food, wraps, three competing pizza joints, and Eagle’s Deli, which is a favorite of Boston College students, many of whom stumble in on the weekends blurry-eyed, hung over, and in desperate need of complex carbohydrates. Eagle’s Deli never disappoints, and the Godzilla burger is exactly as it sounds: a monster. Check out the photos on the wall of all those who have attempted finishing the Godzilla. It’s Guinness Book material!

Boston Dining

BC has a nice selection of local favorites, such as Roggies, Pinos, el pelon, etc and if you want any other type of food, I'm sure you will be able to find it somewhere in the city of Boston. Delivery options are also great, and some places take your eagle bucks. Dining out can get expensive though, especially when transportation is involved.

Because we are so close to Boston, the off campus dining is extremely varied. We have various places such as diners, deli's, and coffee shops within walking distance of campus. There are also major places such as Coolidge Corner and Newton Center that have many dining options. Lastly, one can always take the T into Boston to find somewhere to eat.
