That\u2019s where I come in! I love trying new foods and Boston has been no exception. It\u2019s hard to narrow down all the places I\u2019ve been but here are my top three so far:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Nud Pob\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is a classic comfort-food stop for BU students and there\u2019s no wonder why it\u2019s so popular. Not only is it in a convenient location right across the GSU, it\u2019s also the best Thai food I\u2019ve had. My go-to meal every single time is spring rolls and chicken pad thai but the pad see ew and thai sausage fried rice are also delicious. It\u2019s reasonably priced and a good spot to go for a quick bite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>2. Pho Basil\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I\u2019m not sure if I can count how many times I\u2019ve been here. If you\u2019re looking to satisfy your pho craving look no further. Located right near Berklee, it\u2019s a homey environment that has even friendlier staff. The pho tai is perfection and add a glass of thai iced tea for the perfect meal to enjoy on a rainy day. Tip: make sure to get there earlier since it tends to get very busy!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>3. Hei La Moon\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This restaurant is a little bit more of a hike and can be found in Chinatown but is well worth the visit. Everyone knows that I love dim sum and this place is the definition of heaven. On Saturday and Sundays during lunchtime, you can find crowds of carts being pushed around filled to the brim with the soft pork buns, piping hot dumplings, and really anything else you can imagine. If you can get a big group of people to go, you\u2019ll be able to try everything!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite the fact that my top three places are asian cuisines, there are so many delicious food spots around this area that I\u2019m never bored of the options. I hope you give these places a try and happy eating!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Saya Ghinea Although the various BU dining halls available have amazing meals and variety, sometimes you\u2019re craving something a little more.
