Worcester is a funny little city. Over the past three years, I have been able to do some exploring of the city, which has definitely included eating some awesome food. As a senior at Holy Cross, I can finally say that I have found spots in Worcester that I absolutely adore. If you are looking to get off campus at some point this fall, here is a list of my favorite spots:

1. Nu Cafe is the perfect place for a delicious brunch or lunchtime panini. I am a huge fan of their coffee as well. This is also a nice spot to do work in, especially if you're feeling the wrath of Dinand.

2. BirchTree Bread Company is so charming and the food is delicious! I went there for the first time over this past weekend, and I was impressed. Not only was the food great, but the environment and vibe of the place was heightened with some live music.

3. Crompton Collective is located directly below BirchTree. I spent an hour is there wandering around, and of course, I did not leave empty handed. The antiques in this store are absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend checking it out, it's truly an awesome place!

4. Garden Fresh Courthouse Cafe, located on Main Street across from the Worcester Courthouse, is a great spot for your basic breakfast/lunch desires. The meals are not only freshly made and delicious, but the staff is also super friendly.

5. New England Roast Beef is located on Park Ave, near WPI. I have been there a couple of times now, and the sandwiches are incredible. I have never been disappointed, and if you like elaborate sandwiches like I do, then I recommend trying this place!
