Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Restaurants off campus in Saratoga are abundant. The majority are on and around Broadway. It is hard to be dissatisfied with the selection because the variety is endless. Styles include American, Irish pub, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Southern, Italian, Mexican, and French. But the favorites are obvious. In terms of a more upscale meal, Wheatfields is a popular place to get a homemade pasta dish and delicious warm bread. Another place on Broadway that offers a lighter arrangement of food like sandwiches, salads, and fish is called Scallions. There are many delis around town that are generally great spots to grab lunch without having to sit and be served. Roma’s, Putnam Market and Spring Street are only a few suggestions that never disappoint. Saratoga is also home of some of the best pies you can find—it is pretty common to order out for pizza upon returning to the dorms after a night of partying, but call before 2 a.m. If you feel like warming up to a tasty latte over some studying (let’s be honest—people watching), Uncommon Grounds is your place. They also have the best bagels in Saratoga, hands-down. Still hungry after hours? Esperanto welcomes beer-filled stomachs until about 4 a.m., and probably help a little with the morning hang over. Oh, and how can you forget good ol’ Comptons? This breakfast joint on Broadway opens at 3:30 am. Warning: the wait staff are the only sober people in this place, and even that is sometimes questionable!

As the Web site advertises, in Saratoga you can “dine like royalty.” Many of the local restaurants are hard on a college student’s budget, but generally worth spending the money on at least once in a while. And if fine dining doesn’t interest you, Wilton is home to McDonald’s, Burger King, Taco Bell, Applebees, Friendly’s and Denny’s.

Amazing!

There are so many restaurants with all different price ranges in Saratoga Springs. I've only been to a few of them so far and I can't wait to go to more! There's a variety of options like Italian, American, Chinese, Mexican, Indian, and everything in between. Plum Dandy frozen yogurt is the best and Maestro's is the perfect restaurant to go with friends or parents.

Ok, so its expensive, but the food is great. The Italian and Chinese food could be better, but everything else is pretty legit! There are great Japanese, Indian, Mexican and café food. I basically live at Coffee Traders

Eh, Baby, Ok

If you want mexican food, you're in the wrong city. If you want italian, you'll find yummy options. If you want a sandwich, you'll be a very happy college kid. While the prices may be a bit steep, the food is pretty good and there are definitely the few gems in town that deserve an A+ on all accounts.

Did You Know?

Esperanto was founded by a Skidmore professor who was also the inventor of the doughboy. The doughboy is a lot like a Hot Pocket—wrapped inside pizza dough you find cheese, chives, and chicken, which is a wonderful late-night treat.
