In the realm of food, Rutgers New Brunswick has an enormous amount of places to pick from. College is the time for new experiences and the diversity at Rutgers helps people discover new foods that they thought they would never try before. Here are some of my favorite places around campus.
1. Henry's Diner
Henry's Diner is located on Livingston campus and has such a great vibe to it. Eating there feels like you're eating at a local diner in your hometown. The people who work there are extremely kind and there are so many choices to pick from. I had a portobello mushroom and steak panini which was really good.
2. Noodle Gourmet
Some members of a club and I went to Noodle Gourmet for dinner and the service was fast. Although the place is small, the staff tries their best to accommodate for the size of the group. I am very picky about bubble tea, but the bubble tea here was great. I recommend the mango bubble tea.
3. KBG Korean Barbecue and Grill
KBG was a place I always went to in high school during the model congress and UN conferences held nearby. You get to pick what goes into your meal and the prices are very reasonable. I always get the LA style bowl, which comes with chicken and rice. There is also bubble tea in the restaurant which tastes amazing.
4. Mamoun's
We had Mamoun's at a meeting and it was definitely a new experience for me. I never had falafel before and it was a pleasant experience. I always walked past it and never thought about going in, but I will definitely go back and try some more new food.
5. La Bagel
Although it's quite out of the way, La Bagel is one of the best breakfast spots in the area. New Jersey has the best bagels and La Bagel represents that well. The prices are great and the staff is very friendly.
I am an extremely picky eater and I always stick to the same order when going out to eat at restaurants. Rutgers has helped me open my horizons when it comes to food. This list only encompasses the tip of the iceberg and there are so many other places to eat at.
