Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

In the city of Boston, there are several options for food and plenty of good restaurants at which to dine. The area surrounding Northeastern can be a little pricey, but it is possible to get a good meal for a cheap price. The most popular off-campus eateries around Northeastern are BHOP (Boston House of Pizza) and Cappy's. At both locations, you can find all kinds of subs, calzones, salads, and, of course, great pizza. Cappy's is known for its enormous slices of pizza that are especially great after a night out. Au Bon Pain is located in the Marino Center, and Qdoba is right across the street.

One of the busiest off-campus eateries is Espresso Royale, which has all your breakfast needs and one-of-a-kind gourmet sandwiches. Panera Bread just recently opened up across the street and has become a very popular place to grab lunch. There are also great restaurants located down by the Prudential Center, on Boylston Street, and even along Huntington Avenue. Whatever your preference, you shouldn't have trouble finding good food around Northeastern. If you want to venture farther away from campus, you could always head to Chinatown for some cheap dim sum or head to the North End for incredible pastries and Italian favorites.

Northeastern Dining

There are a ton of places around my campus to eat. Most of the places are affordable for college students. A variety of places are also part of our dining dollars which is very convenient.

Abundance of Choices

Being the size that it is, Boston contains a huge variety of cuisines and dining options. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least 20 different countries, a good amount of them within Asia, that are represented by nearby restaurants. Your NUID can give you a number of small but amounting discounts on on-campus restaurants and stores, so make note to utilize that little perk. The only downside is the relatively early closing hours; there are not very many late-night options...but I would recommend Tasty Burger.

As you hopefully have heard, Boston is very strict with underage drinking, so you will need a very good ID if you plan to foster it or go out to bars in the first years...this is a nasty surprise for all the students who come here and have only heard that "Boston is the ultimate college town." Corner Tavern seems to have a great reputation among everyone I know, so it should definitely be a bar to check out if you find yourself at Northeastern or just in Boston. The Hawthorne would be another one to add to your list. Everywhere is pretty easy to access given Boston's public transit, but take into account that the T closes at 12:30am, so it is easy to find yourself walking home and/or scrounging for a taxi late at night on weekends.

Freshman 15 Gone Right

While the average broke college life of a students hinders most of us to eat junk food all the time, it is worth while to splurge a little on some of the tasty meals Bostonians have access to in the beautiful city. All the restaurants are so close by and the you have such a huge variety of meals from different countries. I personnaly love eating on Newbury Street, in Little Italy and at the Quincy Market.
