If you know anything about me, you know that I’m in a long-term, emotional relationship with food. Even though I’ve definitely blogged about great places to eat around Boston before, being around this summer has exposed me to some brand-new places right here on campus! So, Aidan told you which dining halls are best, and I’m gonna tell you what near-by restaurants are best.
Mei-Mei
You may already know and love the Mei-Mei food truck–that “Double Awesome” though–and they just recently opened up a restaurant right on Buswell in South Campus! I expected an “order-at-the-counter-and-go” type of place, but no, no. Mei-Mei stepped up its game for the restaurant. It is a sit-down place that uses locally-grown and organic foods to inspire their constantly changing menu. You’ll still see all your favorites, but alongside them will be something new to try each time.
Burger-Fi
Now, I loved Burger-Fi ever since I discovered it last summer in my hometown of Miami, but I am extremely pleased to say that they have made their way up to my second home. Located literally steps from Agganis, the new Burger-Fi location is a huge–you guessed it–burger place. Their shakes and fries are to die for. Much better that Shake Shack, in my humble opinion. (I just think that if you’re gonna have “Shake” in your name, your shakes should be a bit more exciting, but thats just me.)
Roxy’s
Okay, I have to admit, I’m a monster who has still not tried Roxy’s Grilled Cheese. I know. I should just leave now. BUT, now that they have followed in Mei-Mei’s footsteps and turned their TV-famous food truck into a restaurant right in Allston, I have absolutely no excuse. And I cannot WAIT to try them.
Go forth, and feast!
