As a Stony Brook student, it is very easy to get tired of bouncing between West Side Dining, East Side Dining, and Roth. Here are a few options to let your inner foodie run loose!

1. Crazy Beans

If you want to travel back in time to a 50s style diner with fantastic food and fancy, hand-crafted coffee drinks, then Crazy Beans is a necessary stop for any Seawolf. Only about 10 minutes off campus, this restaurant features both a breakfast and lunch menu, great service, and is located within a very cute little village, right by a beautiful walking path and duck pond!

2. Mario's Italian Restaurant

Mario's is a beautiful Italian restaurant located about 10 minutes from campus, featuring a fantastic menu of pastas, seafood, and mouth-watering daily specials. The wait staff is very attentive and the ambiance makes you believe you could be sitting next to Frank Sinatra.

3. Grumpy Jack's

If you're looking for a fun, casual sports bar with not-your-average bar food, then Grumpy Jack's is your spot! Contrary to the name, everyone working here is super nice and attentive. If you've heard the name Grumpy Jack's before, it was probably after hearing the words, "best wings on Long Island." Seriously, if you're looking for a spot to watch the game, I would recommend having a burger and wings at Grumpy Jack's.

4. Toast

If you're ever in need of a mimosa and brunch after a long night of studying, look no further than Toast. Toast is a cozy, quirky breakfast and lunch spot in the heart of Port Jeff. They're famous for their unique boho/artist decor, fantastically delightful breakfasts, and beyond satisfying lunches.

5. Del Fuego

A Tex-Mex bar with more than enough tequila to drown a saloon full of patrons. They know how to do the basics such as nachos, tacos, and quesadillas better than anyone around, along with specialty dishes that make you come back over and over again.

6. Ruvo East

Tucked away in the Village of Port Jefferson, Ruvo features a diverse menu where everything is very clearly made with a lot of care and thought. Their Prix Fixe menu can definitely help out by giving you the chance to try a few courses for a set price, just so you can experience the craftsmanship of Ruvo's chefs. The ambiance is rustic and comfortable, yet upscale at the same time. If you can afford to go to Ruvo, I would recommend doing so ASAP.

7. Se-Port Delicatessen

If you attend Stony Brook University, are planning to go to Stony Brook, considering applying to Stony Brook, or if you have ever even heard of Stony Brook University, I can almost guarantee that you have heard of Se-Port Delicatessen. Se-Port is famous on Long Island for dishing out absolutely monstrous sandwiches that can please any appetite. Their most popular sandwiches include the Gasm, the Boone, and the Queens.

Although they are most famous for their sandwiches, they appeal to all customers by offering açaí bowls, chopped salads, quesadillas, burritos, power bowls, hamburgers, brownies, cookies, and pretty much anything you could be craving.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
