Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

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.

Off-Campus Dining at Bryn Mawr College

Great but Limited

The area around Bryn Mawr is a great little college town but there isn't a ton of options for food. There are a couple of ones that people go to many times a month like sushi land or Tiffin but the food on campus is great and most of the times when students go out to dinner they simply go into Philly.

Main Line Dining

There are a bunch of small, but delicious restaurants around the town, including Silk Cuisine (Thai), Golden China (Chinese), Tiffin (Indian), Sushi Land (Japanese), Peace a Pizza (PIZZA!), and lots more. My favorite place to order from is Campus Corner, which is open late! They have a pretty large menu with foods like wraps, sandwiches, pizza, and snacks. It's really great for any late night urges to eat hot food!

Basically Nonexistent

Bryn Mawr is an upscale residential neighborhood, not a college town. There are a few restaurants within 2 miles of campus for an occasional dinner off campus, but you will want to have most of your meals on campus.

Facts

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.
