We all know the Hickey can get real boring real fast and we sometimes want a change. Here are some of my favorite options on campus:
1. RC Wraps
The Riley Center Cafe makes the best wraps and to me, this is one of the best foods on campus. My friends and I crave the wraps all the time, we always go at least once a week because we cannot resist!
What I get on my wrap:
– Grilled chicken
– Cheddar cheese
– Shredded lettuce
– Chopped tomatoes
– Chopped onions
– Guac
– Oil and vinegar
2. Cafe LaVerna Chicken and Cheese Quesadilla
I recently bought food from LaVerna for the first time the other day. I saw on the menu they make quesadillas and decided to try it. They are to die for, and even better, they aren’t that expensive. Cafe LaVerna is located right next to the Hickey and has a cozy environment. I will definitely be eating in there more.
3. Francis Dining Hall
Francis Dining Hall is one of my favorite Hickey alternatives. Francis serves food only on certain days and at specific times. They have great burgers, salads, chicken patties, fries, veggie burgers, cheese steaks, etc. It’s in Francis Hall right next to the Garden Apartments. I used to go all the time at the beginning of the year when the weather was warmer. The walk is really pretty, I highly recommend going.
4. LaVerna Starbucks Smoothies
Have you ever tried the fruit smoothies at Starbucks? They are really good, especially in the warmer weather. My favorite is the strawberry banana one.
5. Rathskeller
The Rathskeller is open on Thursday-Saturday. I love the chicken wings and nachos. My friends and I love going there after a night out or even for dinner. We like to bring our food over to the couch and eat. The environment is very cozy and relaxing. Give it a try!
