Who wants to spend $25 on lunch when you don’t even get to enjoy your meal? During your breaks during the school day you are usually either rushing to your next class or hustling back to the library to finish an assignment. And hello?! We are college students which means a large majority of us are on a budget. Dining in Manhattan can get very expensive, very quickly. This is guide to a few places around campus that are relatively cheap, but still majorly tasty.

Banter

169 Sullivan St,

New York, NY 10012

Banter is one of my favorite places to go on campus when I actually have time to sit down and eat at a resturant. This casual cafe’s warm interior and delicious food are perfect for when you want to grab a few friends in between classes for a quick catch-up. Also, you can get the perfect snap for your next instagram post with Banter's colorful cuisine.

Recommended: Nutella French Toast ($14) or Bacon and Egg Roll ($10)


Eva’s Kitchen

11 W 8th St

New York, NY 10011

This is one of my consistent go-tos when I am in a rush. The food is healthy and their are plenty of options for vegans and vegetarians. After a workout at 404, this is the spot to get a good wrap or salad post-workout.

Recommended: Falafel with Baba Ghanoush Sandwich ($7.45) or Mediterranean Burrito ($10.00)


Pokée

121 W 3rd St,

New York, NY 10012

One of the best Pokée spots in the city is nestled in Greenwich Village. Pokée can often be found with crowded lines, but is often quick and well worth any of the waiting time. This is the perfect spot if you are looking for something healthy that you can take on the go!

Recommended: Fifty 50 Bowl (Regular $10.75) or Tofu Bowl (Regular $10.75)


Tue Thai

3 Greenwich Ave

New York, NY 10014

This no-frills thai restaurant will leave you feeling satisfied. For only $9.09 everyday between the time of 11:30am to 4pm, you can enjoy their lunch special which includes salad or soup, drink, appetizer and entrée. It isn’t too busy around lunchtime, meaning that it is optimal spot if you are on a tight schedule.

Recommended: Tamarind Sesame Chicken ($9.09, apart of the special) or Massaman Curry ($9.09, apart of the special)


Goa Taco

79 Delancey St.,

New York, NY 10002

The fusion of Mexican and Indian food sounds like an odd combination, but is extremely delicious! These are not traditional tacos, but pack a punch when it comes to flavor. These tacos are unbelievably filling and are only $7! You must try Goa Taco if you find yourself wandering East Village during one of your breaks!

Recommended: Slow Roasted Pork Belly (7.35) or Paneer Cheese (7.35)


Happy eating!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
