- Any of the restaurants in the North End (Maggiano's is a common favorite)
College Prowler Take
Students all have a suggestion for just about every type of cuisine you could ask for, and there are virtually no complaints regarding the food in Boston. Restaurants off campus vary as widely as the city—offering pretty much everything. Going out to eat definitely seems to be a popular activity, and the prices tend to be pretty reasonable, especially around campus. Clustered around the University, especially in the Allston/Brighton area, where many students live, there are tons of really cheap options with really good food such as Indian, vegetarian, Mexican, Brazilian, Italian, Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese. Check out Chinatown and the North End for the best food in the city. Students Speak Out

There are so many good restaurants near Boston University. The diversity of cuisine is awesome, and most of the places close to campus are really well-priced. Many of them are within walking distance, or it's always easy to hop on the T. Some of my favorite places are Brown Sugar, Noodle Street, and UBurger.

Being in Boston, there are plenty of restaurants around. There is just about anything you can think of, and if it's not within walking distance, you will definitely be able to find it on the T. Cambridge tends to have some funky and delicious restaurants, as well. All price ranges exist, too.

There are so many restaurants...
There are so many restaurants within walking and public transportation distance, that one cannot possibly visit all of them. There are five Thai restaurants within a few blocks of campus—including some on campus. My favorite is Nud Pob, which is on central campus and is extremely cheap for the amount of food—each dish is enough for two meals! It's a really cozy hole-in-the-wall places where the owners are extremely friendly and the service is extremely fast!
