<p>Could anyone tell me the names (with a brief description of food type & approx cost) of some good restaurants that would be easily accessible to a freshman without a car? I’m looking for a place that a freshman would enjoy going to with a group of friends for an evening of dinner on me (HS graduation gift).</p>
<p>The loop is within walking distance from campus and you will finds all types of food there. Some popular ones (or just ones I like) are:</p>
<p>Fitz’s: Very popular American food restaurant. Specializes in burgers and root beer. About $8 entrees. [Fitz’s</a> Rootbeer](<a href=“http://www.fitzsrootbeer.com%5DFitz’s”>http://www.fitzsrootbeer.com)</p>
<p>Blueberry Hill: Another very famous St. Louis restaurant. Similar food to Fitz’s at a similar price. I prefer the food at Fitz’s but the atmosphere at Blueberry Hill is really cool.</p>
<p>Saleem’s: Lebanese food. About $14-16 but you get large portions. Probably my favorite restaurant on the loop.</p>
<p>Pi: San Fransisco style pizza. I think it is around $14-16 for a pizza.</p>
