Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
- Off-Campus Dining

Pizza and Bar Food

The 4 dining halls(one of which has hours from 10:00 - 11:00 on week days excluding friday), student covenience stores, and a local Moe's are all owned by the same company, food is accessible at most times of the day; howeever, if you find that you want cultural food or good dining, you must choose: pizza or travel.

Pizza:

If you choose pizza, New York Style Pizza (referred to as Pizza Bella) serves their pies with a variety of toppings, but beware: pizza is often a choice students take due to uninteresting dining hall options, so it gets old fast. The 'Zone, and Dominoes (I may hav forgotten some) all deliver to the Troy and RPI area.

Privately Owned:

15th Street has a few popular bars and Ali Baba(a family owned turkish restaurant), but Downtown Troy is where it's at.

The Ruck, Bootlegger's, Dinosoar Barbeque, The Brown Bag, and Sushi King all serve a variety of food, but the majority of options are of the bar food variety.

Chains:

Popeye's, Dominoes, Dunkik Donuts, and various supermarkets.

Some Are Good

There are not too many off campus dining options nearby RPI. The only ones are Moe's and big apple pizzeria, which are not too bad but not really good. However, a little further away from the campus , there are a variety of dining options ranging from great Barbecue restaurants to fine dining options. The city has enough variety and food options to keep the students happy.

Off-Campus

Unless you have a car with you, it is unwise to venture off campus at all. You may get stabbed or mugged.
