Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Saratoga Springs has many, many restaurants. There is a huge range of restaurants from coffee shops to three-course fancy restaurants. There is a range of American, Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, and Indian foods. Students often frequent restaurants downtown, but some restaurants are certainly saved for Celebration Weekend, when parents come up to visit. Uncommon Grounds, a coffee/bagel shop, is a popular Skidmore hangout to catch up with your friends on a Saturday morning or to do some work over the weekend (lots of outlets and free Wi-Fi!). Other popular Skidmore coffee spots include Coffee Traders and Virgil's House.

Some other traditional Skidmore spots include Esperanto, a popular late-night Mexican pizzeria conveniently located on Caroline Street right next to all of the bars. There are also a string of chain restaurants in Wilton including Chipotle, Five Guys, and fast food restaurants like McDonald's and Taco Bell. All of a college student's options are covered!

FOOD IS AMAZING

This may just be because I'm a swimmer, but the food in Saratoga Springs is incredible. Try Sushi Thai (I'm addicted), Pizza 7, Fornos, Chiante, pretty much everything.

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.

Off Campus Food Rocks

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

Facts

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.
