Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The town of Durham is small, and, unfortunately, so is the selection of restaurants. Most students don’t have the time
or money to go to the better places further off campus, so most of the time, you will see students hanging out at the local bars and sub shops during the day. At night, the pizza shops, particularly the Durham House of Pizza, are overwhelmed with people grabbing $1 slices at 1 a.m. The Portsmouth Brewery and the Muddy River Smokehouse are two local restaurants that aren’t too hard on the wallet and are a part of local tradition.

If you do get an appetite for something more, the shuttle buses run to Dover, Newmarket, and Portsmouth, where you can go to some of the more popular chain restaurants, such as Applebee’s, T.G.I. Friday’s, and Olive Garden. There are plenty of fancy restaurants in Portsmouth that are worth visiting, as well—it’s just a matter of getting a bunch of friends together and spending a night out on the town.

Minimal but High Quality

Despite the small downtown Durham, each off campus dining option is slightly different. With endless pizza shops, deals are always around (five dollar pizza fridays after 10 etc). Rite aid and other stores are available conveniently. Downtown Portsmouth and Newmarket are available via bus with hundreds of restaurants!

Off-Campus Dining for UNH

There really aren't too many places to go around Durham because it's such a small town. Whenever my boyfriend and I go out to eat somewhere nice, we always have to take the bus into Portsmouth, which isn't that bad of a ride, but sometimes it's inconvenient. And we haven't found any restaurants that give student discounts yet either.

Proximity Is the Question

If you are willing to take Wildcat Transit or drive to Newmarket, Dover or Portsmouth then you will find plenty of options. However, within the town of Durham there is nothing that a student could not get from the dining halls, which are stupendous.
