I hope to visit soon and am wondering what good places there are to eat within easy walking distance of campus. I eat pretty much anything. The wrinkle is that husband may join me and he is pickier. He will want a nice, sit down restaurant. Suggestions? Reservations required at any?
There’s a restaurant close by called Shish (1668 Grand Ave)- it’s Middle Eastern and they have really good breakfast/lunch options. There’s also Pad Thai Restaurant, which has Thai, just across the street. On the other side of campus, Carmelo’s Ristorante (238 Snelling) has delicious Italian food, and it’s a very nice sit-down place. You’d probably want to make a reservation there. There are a lot of good restaurants on the busy streets surrounding campus, so I’m sure you’ll find somewhere.
Shish it was. Nice place, good food, bustling.
The campus was great, too. It was a beautiful, sunny day so lots of students were out. There were groups looking for new members in front of the international center and another group in front of the Student Union. I was impressed by the diversity of the students----many backgrounds and ethnicities in evidence. The campus was full of energy.
