When You'd Rather Not Face the Caf...

Chris has some more suggestions for off-campus dining! Check out his post below and his sports blog, Cavnaughty's Sport's Blog.

Don’t like rat poop in your food? Here are some good off campus places to eat.

Given what has happened with Fordham’s food service in the past weeks, I have not been on campus to eat at all and have relied solely on off campus dining. Here are some good places to grab food if you’re not into the whole contaminated food thing.

Tino’s Deli- Located on Arthur Ave., this is by far my favorite place to eat off campus. They have amazing sandwiches and great homemade Italian food. Whether it’s homemade, brick oven pizza, or just some stuffed shells, this is by far the best deli off campus. Everything is priced appropriately, ranging anywhere from $6 for an order of stuffed shells, to $7 for a hero. I go here almost every day and the quality of the food is always consistently good.

Bellini’s Pizza- Probably one of the Fordham area’s best-kept secrets. Located on Hughes Ave, a block over from Mugz’s and Ziggy’s, Bellini’s definitely knows how to make good pizza. My personal favorite is their buffalo chicken pizza (which is 100x better than the caf’s buffalo chicken pizza). If heat isn’t your thing, they have baked ziti pizza, BBQ chicken pizza, Philly cheese-steak pizza, or just the classic cheese pizza. They also have incredible garlic knots and penne vodka. Although it can get pricey compared to other pizza shops such as Pugsley’s and University, Bellini’s is definitely a place to go if you want a great slice of pizza.

These are my two favorite places to eat off campus which I think everyone should visit. Some other great off campus eateries are: Simon’s Deli, Planet Wings (great for ordering in), Sake II (large portions of Japanese food for a low price), and Full Moon Pizza.
