<p>My folks are taking me to visit Brown. Anyone have any suggestions for good, but not terribly expensive restaurants close to campus? If you have a recommendation, please pass it along, thanks, coldcomfort</p>
<p>THAYYERRRR!!!!!!</p>
<p>East Coast Wraps....i like #9.</p>
<p>Geoff's Superlative Sandwiches</p>
<p>ANTONIO'S PIZZA BY THE SLICE (reallllly good and creative pizza)</p>
<p>there are also a bunch of sit down places that scream classy. just walk down thayer st...</p>
<p>Gotta recommend Kabob & Curry.</p>
<p>Paragon on Thayer St.</p>
<p>i second paragon... also the creperie but that's more of a snack than a meal</p>
<p>There's a Greek restaurant on Thayer Street which is very good. And I second Antonio's, for really cheap, really good pizza.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I have to say, the Brown board has the neatest people on it. That's one of the reasons that I'm visiting --coldcomfort</p>
<p>When are you visiting if you don't mind my asking? And are you a guy or a gal?</p>
<p>I'm a girl. We are visiting tomorrow, but we live pretty far away so we have to leave today.</p>
<p>I get the image that no one likes American food.</p>
<p>if by american food you mean like burgers and steaks, that's exactly what paragon is</p>
<p>Ah. Good.</p>
<p>I'm scared because it seems everyone loves Thai and Indian and anything asian. I've tried most asian food, and I don't like it. Just give me cheeseburgers, chicken wings, and anything Italian.</p>
<p>I love Thai ;). And most Asian. But I probably enjoy Johnny Rockets as uch as anyone else.</p>
<p>Fire and Ice in the mall is cool and a little different if you know a thing or two about cooking.</p>
<p>I don't go to Brown, but I used to live near Providence, so...</p>
<p>I second Kabob and Curry :)</p>
<p>antonio's (nice slice is good too, but $0.10 more expensive)
paragon
mama's falafel
the creperie
i'm blanking but i also like the (greek i think?) place across the street from johnny rockets
au bon pain</p>
<p>east side pockets. these are all mostly places on thayer though, you may wanna check out federal hill or wickendon street.</p>
<p>There's a relatively new restaurant called "Twist" in Wayland Square (just a few blocks east of Brown's campus) which has been getting great reviews. It's moderately priced and has great food; its signature is that each item on the menu is just a bit unusual in some way.</p>
<p>funkyspoon and aderoberts-- that greek place on thayer is called andreas... and yes, it is very good, although i was told by one brown alum that the restaurant is a front for a cocaine dealer.</p>
<p>Johnny Rocket's for ' American' food</p>
