Ariana Faustini: For $2.00 you get a perfect cup o' Joe. If you're feeling like you need to clog an artery, try the creamy Venetian hot chocolate. It's a bit like mousse but served in a cup and you don't get a spoon.

Ariana Faustini: Pricey but worth every penny. I don't eat here on the regular, but when I do I break out of vegan mode for some crab glass noodles. Holy amazing. Also, get the Roti. Try anything. Really.
Restoran Salad · University South · 121 tips dan ulasan
Ariana Faustini: My new favorite salad place. I made my own special salad with all the vegan goodness. Note that they can take a while so don't go when you are in a rush. Also, the soup is spectacular.

Ariana Faustini: Philz is Philz. If you need to give yourself a special treat go here. It's good (sooooo goood). Try the locally baked goods. Also good.
Ariana Faustini: This place is tasty. Try the Portobello mushroom burger. Get quinoa salad & potatoes. Note: I haven't asked b/c I want to remain ignorant but I'm sure the potatoes aren't vegan. They're delish.

Kios Es Krim · University South · 62 tips dan ulasan
Ariana Faustini: Decadent ice cream shoved inside 2 warm cookies makes a dessert that's sweeter than new born babies sleeping on a bed of puppies. Too sweet for me, but most American palettes do enjoy. Long lines.
Restoran Timur Tengah · University South · 7 tips dan ulasan
Ariana Faustini: Best felafels of my life. Not to mention the homemade hot sauce. These guys are sandwiched between to crowd monsters (Umami burger and CREAM) but they are well worth a visit themselves.
