My dear freshman, lucky for us, Baruch is near many diverse restaurants. Here is a list of a few of them. You should take note of these places, you may find yourselves chilling here with friends between classes for the next four years.
Subway (61 Lexington Avenue, 32 East 23rd Street)
If you're looking for a healthy meal, Subway is the answer. Their daily special is only $2.49 for a 6 inch sub. Be sure to use your ID card for a student discount. It's $4.99 (plus tax) for a 6 inch value meal.
Golden Krust Carribean Bakery (111 E 23rd St)
This place has all the Jamaican favorites, like jerk chicken and beef patties. The dining area is small though, so it's best to get take-out.
Wendy's (26 E 23rd St)
Come here for old-fashioned burgers. Their dollar menu has some pretty good choices, like a baked potato, junior bacon cheeseburger, meaty chili, and a cool, ultra-thick Frosty.
Shake Shack (Madison Square Park)
NYC's best burgers are in our own backyard! Try the 'Shroom Burger ($4.15), cheeseburger ($3.69) and cheese fries ($2.54). The floats are also delicious and plentiful ($3.92).
Pax (303 Park Ave S)
Fresh, gourmet food. Some good choices are the eggplant parmigian pressata, ($5.95), and the Siciliano Prosciutto. There's also delectable bakery treats. A snickers bar treat is $2.95, while a slice of cheesecake is $4.25.
Osaka (352 3RD Ave)
Come here for cheap Japanese food. Their hand rolls are 50 percent off everyday from 12-8 p.m. They also have bubble tea and fried ice cream, so no need to go to Chinatown!
Curry in a Hurry (119 Lexington Ave)
Can't make it to Jackson Heights? Well, we have a little India right next to Baruch. Their huge combination platters come with meat, naan, rice, a vegetable side dish. A good choice is the chicken tikka marsala ($9.99). If you dine in, they have free salad bar upstairs, and they show Indian music videos. Also try a chicken samosa ($1.25), and the "jalebi" - a sweet pretzel shaped pastry with syrup inside.
7-Eleven (107 E 23RD ST)
From coffee, to on-the-go meals, to their famous slurpees, 7-Eleven has all your snacking needs.
Popeye's (75 Lexington Ave)
For some Cajun style cookin,' Popeye's has everything covered, from their delicious fried chicken, to sides like dirty rice, biscuits, and mash potatoes.
Push Cafe (294 3RD Ave)
This cool hang-out is a coffeehouse/bar that also serves up Mediterranean/Israeli food. They even have live music on certain nights and are open late. A cafe; latte is $4.50, and Chai tea with ice cream pleases.
Fresco Tortilla Grill (36 Lexington Ave)
This place is cool to get a quick take out lunch. For $5 you get a plate of juicy meet, Mexican rice, and black beans, and fresh tortillas.
Yi's Freedom Mart (23 Lexington Ave)
This mart has everything you need, from snacks to drinks. Their hot buffet food is sold by the pound, and has some delicious items like fried chicken and broccoli with cheese.
