On Campus Eats

So you've been on the campus tour and heard of J Street and our dining plans, but have no idea where to use Colonial Cash- the money that you can spend at Safeway, CVS, and 7-11. Below are some of my favorite on campus locations to eat on G World:

Thai Place: My favorite spot to grab lunch or dinner, this classy Thai restaurant is appropriately named. Simple and fast, Thai Place is a must for your curry or pad thai dreams. I am here at least once a week indulging in their masterpieces. This is the most expensive of the options as lunch/dinner can easily be $10, but it is definitely worth it!

Cone E Island: With the music always bumpin’, Coney is the place to be at 2000 Penn. They always have great flavors of ice cream (peppermint, all sorts of chocolate, snickers, strawberry, and so on), soft serve (called Skinnie Minnie at 30 calories per ounce), milkshakes, and more. Everything is under $5.

Campus Fresh: Located inside the gym, this is the best option for healthy eating after working out. Truth be told, I usually just go in the gym to eat there… whoops. They make delicious wraps, sandwiches, burritos, smoothies, and frozen yogurt. It’s also a great place to look for a job on campus! Also pricy, you can spend anywhere from $5-15.

GW Deli: This is a popular place for students and faculty alike to get a cup of coffee or a bagel sandwich in the morning at 22^nd and G. They have a deli counter where you can also order sandwiches, and a ton of snacks, drinks, etc. The line can be ridiculous, so try to go there at a time where everyone isn’t running between classes. Shopping here can range from $2-8.

Look forward to my next post with off campus eats! Questions? Still hungry? Want to meet up on your visit to GW? marisaw@gwmail.gwu.edu
