College Prowler Take

Both Manhattan and the Bronx are home to some of the best restaurants in the country. The Bronx boasts some great Italian restaurants in the Belmont area, and many mom-and-pop stops that are both ideal for dates and dinner parties. Pete’s Café, with its convenient location right outside of the Rose Hill campus, at times, feels like it should be the campus cafeteria. When all else fails, there’s always White Castle (for better or worse).

Lincoln Center’s dining options could hardly get any better. Take a walk down 9th Avenue for your choice of Thai, Chinese, American, Sushi, or even Ethiopian cuisine. Famous landmark eateries include Al’s Soup Kitchen, the truly frightening, truly delicious inspiration for Seinfeld’s infamous “Soup Nazi” episode. You must experience it to believe it, both the act of buying soup (there are rules) and the delicious cuisine itself. Gray’s Papaya, the hot dog joint featured on Sex and the City and in the film Fools Rush In, offers one of the best bargains in town with a $2.50 special for two hot dogs and a large shake. Alan’s Marketplace, the deli located right across the street from Fordham, is becoming the alternative to campus dining; with its $5, five-topping salads, you can’t go wrong.

I could eat prison food and be happier than campus dining, so having NYC food at my fingers is icing on the cake. There are restaurants of every type you can imagine right down the street.

I like the Olympic Flame, but I wish they were open 24 hours. It’s weird. We’re in New York, but there aren’t that many all-night places to eat.
