St. John's University - Off-Campus Dining

Quick Stats

College Prowler Take

Food prices off campus are more reasonable than on campus. The food choices are very delicious and served swiftly. Also, there are a lot more selections than on campus. Go to Vincenzo’s for pizza because the food is prepared fresh, and the BBQ pizza is the best. The number one thing, especially for resident students, is that they are usually open late and will deliver to the resident village. In the area surrounding the St. John’s campus, there’s a healthy selection of choices.

For the more adventurous students, Manhattan and the rest of New York City offer limitless possibilities of food. From Thai to Cuban, Mexican to Italian, the city has it all. Considering the top complaint against on-campus eating is that it is unbearably repetitive, the wide variety of city eateries should come as a breath of fresh air. Again, though, the distance can get in the way of getting a quick meal, and not everyone can afford to ride the subway everyday.

The off-campus dining is not... The off-campus dining is not really that good, the Fame Diner is a bit pricey and not that great. The pizza place down the block is pretty good, and the Chinese place is average. There is no food place that is spectacular around here, unless you are dining in the city. 12345 Off-Campus Dining Report

It is worth the commute because you will have a wide variety of foods that caters to all cultures. 12345 Off-Campus Dining Report
