<p>also koronet's.. amazing & huge pizza
open until 2 a.m. or even 4 a.m. i believe on weekends.</p>
<p>The dining hall at Barnard has much better hamburgers though, no disrespect to Wilma. The quality of the ingredients is just plain better.</p>
<p>C02 - I'm south of wall street, so the places I go tend to be like Yip's, Riverside market, Amish market, Cosi, etc. (and Pax, of course)</p>
<p>idk much about columbia's location, but I'll let you know that you will find at LEAST 1 starbucks roughly every block in most parts of the city.
expensive coffee lovers (such as myself) enjoy</p>

<p>columbia's main enterance is on 116th street and broadway, it stretches from 114th street to 120th street. There is a starbucks on 115th street and Brodaway and another 4 blocks away at 111th and Broadway. And, yes it is pretty much a rule in new york that whenevery you even think about having a coffee craving all you need is to turn your head and u'll find a starbucks.</p>
<p>...or some other coffee purveyor for those too lazy to turn their heads.</p>
<p>News alert: Chipotle is coming to 110th and Broadway!</p>
<p>haha yeah. and unfortunately i live 30 min away from the city and the stupid starbucks people over here put 4 starbucks in the same mall and only 1 other one in the WHOLE COUNTY.
seriously....one in the B&N, one independent one right across from it, another independent one in the food court, and one in Target.</p>
<p>extremely annoying.</p>
<p>technically speaking, Barnes and Nobel cafes are just that, they are not technically starbucks, just sell the starbucks coffee :P</p>
<p>wow just the amount of choices and being in NYC makes me want to go there for the food lol</p>
<p>Mmmmhmmmm.</p>
<p>living in NYC, you'd think the choices in food would be incredible, but they really aren't, considering the amount you have to spend to get good food. Chinese food and pizza are the most common things, since they're cheap and taste good. But can you imagine eating out in NYC every meal of every day? You'd be spending $40 a day just on food. I like to eat at the Hewitt Dining Hall at Barnard and sometimes I'll order food from Concord Garden. Many people go to Chicken and Rice at 53rd and 6th. Also "spicy specials" at 109th Gourmet Deli are amazing. Koronet Pizza is a popular pizza place with the biggest slices of pizza you've ever seen. Other than that, stick to Cafe 212 (great sandwiches and the new location for cafe east with a lot of sushi, bubble tea, etc), JJ's, John Jay and Hewitt.</p>
<p>birdman, with your advice you are actually spending more money than if you were eating at places around campus. for a john jay or hewitt meal you are paying 10-12 bucks a meal! you can get alot better food with that kind of money. As for cafe 212, slow service and still overpriced...chicken and rice is a good idea, but you do have to factor in 4 bucks for transportation and at least 1.5 hours. Eating on campus as an upperclassman is usually something you should just do if you are in a rush...i understand that having your parents buy you a meal plan is economical for YOU cause you dont have to pay it out of your own pocket but in the grand scheme of things you are grossly shortchanging yourself...you'd be much better off having your parents give you the money for food and i'm sure u'd be hard pressed to spend it all on the same number of meals.</p>
<p>even when i lived in a corridor-style building with a floor kitchen (Broadway, schapiro, etc), i'd cook myself some pasta and veggies once or twice a week. it's really easy to stay low-budget if you have to.</p>
<p>i bet there are markets where u can buy your own food/ingredients and make ur own food in your kitchen (if you have one)</p>
<p>btw, who usually has kitchens?</p>
<p>JJ doesnt have kitchens, right? :</p>

</p>
<p>nope, but freshman year you are stuck taking a meal plan anyway so you shouldnt really be cooking, you'll have more than enough meals and points to get food with</p>
<p>Thanks Shraf :)</p>
<p>There are tiny kitchens in JJ, or at least there were when I lived there.</p>
<p>And yes, supermarkets and convenience stores abound plentifully.</p>
<p>I visited an older friend who goes to school there, and I have to say that I wasn't particularly impressed with the school provided food. On the other hand, it's in New York City, and there's no better city for food.</p>
<p>The kitchens in JJ are kitchenettes, they have a sink and a microwave and thats it, cant really do much with that. </p>
<p>The food at columbia is unimpressive and yet more expensive than most of the surrounding venues.</p>
<p>There are surprises if you know where to look on campus, actually. Brownie's Cafe under Avery is particularly good compared to some of the other eateries, though you can't use dining dollars there. Likewise the cafe in SIPA, which has (gourmet) Illy coffee and food that's often cheaper and fresher than Blue Java's.</p>
