Nearby Restaurants

Mountainlair food court (go out the door on the second floor and go straight ahead on the walkway, mostly up, cross one street (University), and the Mountainlair (the student union) will be right in front of you). On Saturdays only Burgerking, Sbarro, Quiznos, and the Smoothie Company seem to be open.

High Street area. There are many restaurants if you are willing to walk 5-10 minutes to the downtown area. Follow the directions above, cross University Ave., but then turn right (instead of going in to the Mountainlair). Now cross one street, keep going and follow the bend in the road around to the left (it becomes Willey St.) until you get to High Street (where there is a traffic light). Turn right on High Street, go about half a block, and on the right there will be a map of the High St. area which shows the restaurants. Here is an incomplete list:

Casa d’Amici (pizza etc.), Boston Beanery (soups, sandwiches), Maxwell’s (wide variety, a couple of levels up from fast food), Mediterranean Market (gyros, hummus, etc.), Yama (Japanese), Jay’s Daily Grind (sandwiches, you passed it on your right on the way to High Street), Madeline’s (a nicer restaurant, not on the map, continue down High Street for about 5 blocks; it’s across from the Hotel Morgan), West Virginia Brewing Company (local microbrewery).

There are also 4 ice cream places: Tutto Gelato (Italian ice cream, right next to the map on High St.), Dairy Queen (right across the street), Cold Stone Creamery, and Carvel.

If you have a car there are many more restaurants a mile or two to the north, in a different part of town.
