Quick Stats
Best Place to Take Your ParentsCollege Prowler Take
Given the choice of cuisine, ambiance, and prices, Bryn Mawr seems ideally located for someone who takes pleasure in eating out, and most Mawrters do. Everyone has their favorites, but since few students can afford to dine at restaurants like Lourdas regularly, more casual places like Piece of Pizza is more popular. Ethnic restaurants also attract many students who tire of the American and Italian food served regularly in the dining halls, making Silk Cuisine, Khajuraho, and Mikado top choices. Restaurants along the Main Line are fairly accessible by train. Going to Philly expands your choices immensely. Each neighborhood offers its own world of restaurants, but students talk about and return to Penang in Chinatown and Marrakesh on Leithgow Street. If you go out to eat, say, three times each month, there are just enough restaurants on the Main Line to keep things adventuresome for about a year. After that, you will most certainly have decided your favorites, and even though they are sure to be wonderful restaurants, you might get tired of them after a while. Philly adds spice to the options, but only if you take the time to go, and many students do not because of the time and expense it requires. The dining halls do get tiresome, but they are not bad enough to chase students off campus regularly. When students go into town in search of food, they usually find what they are craving.

There are a couple of good places around campus. Bertucci’s is good. Così is great for drinking iced vanilla lattes and writing papers on your laptop. |

Lourdas, a Greek restaurant by the train station in Bryn Mawr, is great. It is a little pricey, and you need to make reservations. When you want to go out for a special occasion, Lourdas is a terrific choice for good food and a cozy atmosphere. |

I’ve spent a lot of time and money in Starbucks studying and you’ll find many quaint little restaurants around the Main Line. There aren’t that many good places around Bryn Mawr, but in Philadelphia, you definitely need to try Marrakesh and Penang. |

I’m from New York City, but I still think Beijing Inn has the most delicious Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. If you want good burgers, there’s Ruby’s Diner, which is a mere two train stops away. |

Did You Know?What is the difference between a hoagie, a grinder, and a cheesesteak? “Hoagie” and “grinder” are two regional names that refer to the same kind of sandwich: meat, cheese, lettuce, onion, and tomato on a crusty bun. A cheesesteak is a sandwich with flattened steak, grilled onions, and Cheez Whiz.
Pennsylvania state laws require hard liquor and malt liquor to be sold in two separate establishments. Many restaurants do not serve alcohol but have BYOB policies.
