Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The off-campus dining choices for JHU students are endless. There are enough restaurants around Baltimore to satisfy even the pickiest eaters, and many of these restaurants are within walking distance of Hopkins. The Hopkins and Collegetown shuttles or access to a car will greatly increase your culinary options. Since Hopkins has such a diverse student body, students go to ethnic restaurants at least as frequently as ones that serve American cuisine. The Charm City Circulator is Baltimore's free bus transportation system that is easily picked up on 33rd Street (Purple Line) and will take you downtown to the Inner Harbor, Federal Hill, or Fell's Point. Many students take these buses to save money for their off-campus dining experience.

While at Hopkins, make sure you get out at least occasionally to sample the restaurants Baltimore has to offer. Students mainly cite the lack of time and money as reasons they don’t get out to eat more, not the restaurant selection, but since Baltimore has so many college students and young professionals, there are numerous places where you can get a delicious meal for less than $10. There are even places where you can get a meal for $5 or $6 and still bring home leftovers. If students make the effort to try restaurants around Baltimore, in addition to ones adjacent to Hopkins, they’ll be sure to find a favorite.

Anything Near/Associated With Hopkins Is Expensive

Whether it be Hopkins meal plans or finding places to eat off-campus it's all expensive. Everyone knows it's a collegetown so they use that to charge ridiculous amounts for the smallest things.

Great!

There are a ton of off campus options that are nearby! Walking distance, there's Tamber's which is an Indian/American food place that has great food and there's a 10% student discount. There's also Subway & Chipotle which are really cheap and accessible. If you want to take a bus, it takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the Inner Harbor which has a TON of amazing food places! Noodles & Company is really cheap (10 bucks and under usually) and super yummy :)

Inner Harbor and Federal Hill

Definitely the better restaurants are in Inner Harbor and Federal Hill in Baltimore. Near the Johns Hopkins Campus the food options are terrible, but just 10-20 minutes away you will be faced with so many different choices of restaurants and with each one you will be satisfied! Definitely try Abbey's burgers in Federal Hill, Fogo de Chao in Inner Harbor, and Morton's steakhouse (also in inner harbor). If you haven't left the campus to eat out, make a date and get out!
