<p>Do any current students have any positive/negative things to say about the food at Brown. I personally eat a lot.</p>
<p>If you're willing to walk to get good food you'll find it.
The Ivy Room and the Gate for example are pretty nice.</p>
<p>I'm pretty picky and in terms of the quality, with some flexibility, I've had little to complain about</p>
<p>How are the vegetarian/vegan options?</p>
<p>I can tell you they certainly exist.
Personally, I love cheeseburgers and steaks and chicken and stuff like that so I can't go into much detail other than to say that you will not be alone as a vegan/vegetarian and there are options.</p>
<p>My daughter is a vegetarian (with a vegan preference) and manages just fine. She tells me about hummus, falafel, gnocchi, vegie chili, etc. and has -- well, let's just say she hasn't lost any weight in her freshman year!</p>
<p>they have 1/4 of the main cafeteria devoted to serving only vegetarian stuff.</p>
<p>The food is fine, not extraordinary, but it's good enough.</p>
<p>i spent a summer there a couple of years ago (as a college student), and their cafeteria was one of the worst that i have visited. im a vegetarian too, and i was very disappointed with the offerings.</p>
<p>I think the V-Dub one of the main cafeterias tends to have more of a vegan orientation as does the Ivy Room at Night.</p>
<p>Food is food. The ability to show up and get a hot meal whenever you please is a luxury. Take advantage of it while you can. After taking a gap year and trying to feed myself on a budget with limited kitchen access I am looking forward to any sort of cafeteria food.</p>
<p>The Ivy Room has got to be one of the least healthy vegetarian places you'll find. Sure, nothing has meat, but you'll notice a lot of it is deep-fried or grilled or greasy or sugary, etc. Healthiest option is probably the falafel wrap or the burrito bar, which is a pretty good deal, actually. If you're a vegetarian worried about food, I'd stop in during ADOCH and use your dining dollars to try it out.</p>
<p>Im vegetarian and i found it fine the first semester... though after a couple of months of eating pasta everyday, i got pretty sick of it..</p>
<p>There are options if you are veg though - wraps,etc in the cafeterias, and then sandiwhces, pizza, and loads of other stuff at the gate and jo's (havent really been to the ivy room much)..</p>
<p>Also, if you are willing to spend some money occasionally, thayer street has amazing veg options..</p>
<p>The dining halls suck. Thayer St. has a lot of tasty, affordable options, though.</p>
<p>Thayer is awesome. First day I visited, I went to this middle eastern wrap place (I think they have vegan options) and it was wonderful.</p>
<p>Food at the Ratty sucks.</p>
<p>Compared to the other dining halls I visited, the Ratty wasnt too bad.</p>
<p>Well that's like saying that compared to the first outbreak, subsequent herpes outbreaks aren't taht bad.</p>
