While many students take their meals in their dorm dining halls, most campuses still have other student dining facilities.  Whether it’s a snack bar, cafe, full restaurant or bar, the prices are geared to a student budget.  Of course, the food is geared to a student palate as well, but if you’ve been subsisting on a diet of cold snacks, a burger may seem pretty darn tasty.

Most non-dorm dining facilities are open to the greater campus community – meaning visitors as well as students.  Plan on using cash, as not all accept debit or credit cards.

Since Boston if full of colleges and universities, I’m sure there are lots of options for a reasonably priced meal.

If you know a great campus cafe or bar, please leave a recommendation in the comments.

A highlight of her visit was a stop by the popular restaurant Sonsie, located in Back Bay’s high-traffic Newbury Street shopping district. The talented chef was hankering for some pizza to eat with her hands like a real Italian should, and she selected an absolutely divine looking recipe with a mixture of white cheese, corn, and smoked bacon from the menu.

I caught the episode recently during one of my regular Food Network phases, which is when I watch the channel almost exclusively for days and then forget about it for a few months, before repeating the process all over again. Check out the clip of Giada’s Sonsie segment below. It even includes a bit of history about Boston and the origin of the word “sonsie.”
