115 chicken and rice is excellent. m2m is a couple dozen feet away from it and has decent bento boxes and pretty good cheesesteaks and burgers. also hamilton deli (hamdel) is a couple minutes away and is a pretty good sandwich place. and that’s just a few of the places within easy walking distance…

john jay dining hall can be pretty bad (ie “blackened” chicken as the main dinner course that was basically burnt), though brunches are generally decent (fresh omelettes, etc.). but like other people said, you get to know a lot of people when you eat there, especially early on in the year. jj’s place is great for late-night fixes in the dead of winter when you don’t want to go out too far (especially if you actually live in john jay or the llc) and don’t care about being healthy.
