Martha’s Café
Martha’s best – $5.69
MVR
They don’t call it Martha’s best for nothing. It truly is the best sandwich I have ever had in my life, and it doesn’t even have any meat on it! So that’s saying a lot. This tasty mix of asparagus, red and yellow peppers, basil, pesto and cheese will have you coming back again, and again, and again, and again…
Carol’s café
White-hot chocolate –$1.45
Tatkon Center
Just can’t make it all the way back to Low Rise seven in the freezing cold? Stop in at Carol’s Café, located in the Tatkon Center, and have your self a warm, steaming, delicious, white-hot chocolate. It’s definitely a nice alternative to tea, hot chocolate, and apple cider; just don’t burn your tongue!
Libe café
Cinnamon scone – $1.72
Olin Library
Have some time in between class? Stop by the social hub of Olin Library, Olin café, where anyone would be crazy to try to get work done. Even reading is a challenge. Once you have gotten over the fact that you might not be able to get some bio reading in, take out a crossword puzzle and buy a yummy cinnamon scone, to pass the time before your next class.
Terrace
Salad – price?
Statler
You must be thinking right now: “Really, she’s telling me to get a salad at Statler? Like I haven’t been told that already one hundred times.” But hear me out. What I have to say may not be monumental, but I can suggest a mix of ingredients to switch up your regular blend. Half salad, blue cheese, almonds, Chinese noodles, craisons/raisons, pears/apples, and sesame ginger dressing to top it all off. Let me know what you think J
The Connection
Aphrodisiac – $19.99
821 Danby Road
Now I know Valentine’s Day passed but an aphrodisiac is the perfect thing to share with your loved one, or even the ones you love! This mix of a ten-inch heart shaped brownie, ben and jerry’s vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and a chocolate rose will have you happy that The Connection specializes in delivery. Especially when you call back the third time asking for another.
Jack’s Grill
Grilled chicken dinner – $10.99
120 Dryden Road
Though they like to be known for their burgers, another item on the menu you should check out are Jack’s grilled chicken dinner. A nice alternative to burgers and a healthy alternative to breaded chicken tenders for we all seem to be health conscious these days.
That Burrito Place
Chicken burrito – $6.48
319 College Ave
From the mouths of babes, well actually, the mouths of the guys behind the counter, the chicken burrito is the best thing off the menu. If you don’t have time to go all the way to the one in the commons just stop by the one in collegetown for a quick burrito fix.
Taste of Thai
Pad See Eew – $9.95
216 E. State Street
Up for a night in the commons, or tired from a long day of shopping? Stop by at Taste of Thai right in the middle of the commons and have some yummy Pad Thai! I recommend the Pad See Eew. It’s a little different from your traditional pad thai, but just as delish! Especially when you get it with chicken. Even add some fried rice to your order to make it the best meal it can be!
Trillium
Tuna Melt – $4.99
Kennedy
Now my absolute favorite meal at Cornell is a Tuna Melt. Not only does it taste incredibly good and remind you of camp, but who doesn’t love eating at trillium where you can bump into more people in one hour than you will throughout the whole day. So the next time you are there, check out the grill, and get a cheddar cheese tuna melt with a tomato thrown in there
Green Dragon
Simply for the décor
Sibley Hall
Located on the north end of the arts quad, the green dragon is the perfect place to stop off for a quick muffin. While you’re there you can bask in the coolness of the aap students and secretly pretend to be one, cause who doesn’t want to be that artsy? Just try not to fall asleep in the darkly lit room!
Oak n’shields
For their music selection
Willard Straight Hall
The most eclectic mix of music. In one hour you will hear everything from Michael Jackson’s thriller to Britney Spears, hit me baby one more time, to Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby. So sit back and rock out.
Big Red Barn
Istanbul Salad – price?
Big Red Barn
The Istanbul Salad will transport you all the way to the Mediterranean. This mix of pita, chumus and salad is the perfect lunch dish, even big enough to share with a friend.
Synapsis
Panini – price?
Weill Hall
Who doesn’t like a Panini? Head over to Synapsis, in that really cool looking environmental friendly building and try one of their most advertised menu items. Sit back and relax, if you can find a seat that is.
Bear Necessities
Calzone – price?
RPCC
The perfect second dinner: a calzone. What could be better at 3 o’clock in the morning?
Temple of Zeus
Large Soup – $3.40

These soups may be the next Statler salads, so get them while they’re hot! Add a roll for just 61cents!
