Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

With the on-campus dining options being so poor, the off-campus dining found just outside of both Fordham campuses is a true godsend. Are you in the mood for Italian food? Just take a quick walk down to Arthur Avenue for dozens of choices. Whether you're in the mood for some delicious pizza, an Italian hero, or a fancy sit-down dinner, you'll be able to find it on Arthur Avenue. Not feeling Italian today? No problem—the Fordham area is also full of other ethnic foods, including several Chinese, Japanese, and Mexican restaurants. Looking for something more basic? There are also several delis and cafés that offer some good ol' American food like burgers, chicken fingers, wings, and fries. So no matter what you are looking for when escaping the cafeteria, the area surrounding Fordham has got your taste buds covered. 

Off-campus dining options are also perfect for late-night (and possibly drunken) hunger. Pugsley Pizza is a staple when it comes to late-night dining at Fordham, but now there are more options such as Munchiez and Simon's. These places stay open until about 3 or 4 a.m. on Tuesday nights and weekend nights. Best of all, these places deliver to off-campus apartments and the dorms, so you can enjoy your late-night snack in the comfort of your room—and in your pajamas.

If You're at LC, You're Set

I ate off-campus about 5 days a week. Most places deliver until the early hours in the morning, if not 24 hours. Furthermore, there are dozens of great restaurants in Hells kitchen, which is only a couple blocks south of McMahon Hall.

Down the Street from Hell's Kitchen in NYC

Hell's Kitchen is an area in NYC known for amazing restaurants of immense variety. My roommates and I always walk down Columbus Avenue, and we spontaneously pick a new restaurant in that area to try. The food is always amazing!

The Heart of NYC

Fordham University at Lincoln Center is right in NYC. There are plenty of places to eat weather you want to grab a sandwich/salad from the deli, sit down at a dinner, or have a full meal at a restaurant. Walking one block in either direction guarantees something great to eat.
