Some of its restaurants cater to students by selling inexpensive food and beer – Bombers Burrito Bar and LAX are examples.
The Healthy In A Hurry tea house and juice bar, and Brakes Coffeehouse both serve Vegan food.
For fine wine and European cuisine, visit McGuire's or The Wine Bar and Bistro.
The Lark St. neighborhood also has a number of fine international restaurants: Rain (Modern Chinese), Kinnaree (Korean and Japanese), Umana (African) and El Mariachi (Mexican) among them.
Because of its diversity and vitality, Lark St is frequently used for street festivals. Very close to both Washington Park and Empire State Plaza, Lark St. makes it easy to combine a meal and a sightseeing walk.
