Diversity in ciQrs ining I ' m himgry! might just be die tm most frequent words out of aiiy college student ' s mouth, and Notre Dame students are no exception. Answering the inevitable question that follows, Where should we go this time?, is the hard part. Notre Dame offers a variety of places to eat on campus, and that list expancis with every passing year. Tlie most frequented spots for on-campus ftxxl are undeniably North and South Dining Halls, but the question of wliich is better. North or South, will forever remain mi uiuesolved issue. There ' s a lot of cool things at North that South doesn ' t offer, like the new ' make your own pizzas, ' and who could live without the pasta stir-fry! exclaimed Sciphomore Nicole Pretet. On the other hand, as Sophomore Justin O ' Neill stated, North Dining Hall ' s tcxj confusing because you never know what is in another room. You could be missing out on something good because you ' re too lazy to go see what ' s in the next room over. Wlien students inevitably get sick of the same routine, they turn to the many options awaiting them in the LaFortune Student Center. The only down side: the Flex Points are gone before you know it! It is not uncommon to run over to Starbucks for a caffeine jolt before a late night of studying, or head to the HuddleMart for snacks or midnight Quarter Dogs on weekdays following parietals. Everyone is accustomed to the long line awaiting them at Subway around lunchtime, and a quick trip to Sbarro always satisfies those Italian cravings. Burger King is also there as the classic staple of American fast-food. Reckers, located bel ' und South Dining Hall, is always a popular stopping point for students coming back from a late night out or to gather after parietals take effect around campus. The tasty pizzas, cheese fries, burgers and smoothies easily liit the spot. The food opportunities do not end there. There are less known eateries wliich attract the more intellectual, scholarly types, and can offer an escape from the crowds of central campus. These include the Cafe de Grasta in Grace Hall, Cafe Poche in Bond Hall, and Greenfields International Cafe in the Heshurgh Center for International Studies. Not only that, but Waddick ' s in O ' Shauglinessy Hall provides soups, salads, and coffees, and Decio Commons in Decio Facult ' Building and Gimmon Stock in the basement of the Mendoza College of Business provide snacks and coffees for a quick break between classes. Tlie opening of Legends at the end of August 2003 gives the students of Notre Dame one more place to satisfy their hunger with sit-down meals also available to the general public. When all on-campus choices leave a student ' s taste-buds craving more, Papa John ' s pizza and breadsticks or Giilden Dragon Chinese food are only a phone call away. With all tliis variet ' at their fingertips, every student can find what they are looking for. — . - irieciKerB is a |Kipukir p kicc fur snadaits to gather for a nunilxT of rc;ison.s.
