This past Friday we took our field trip down to the restaurants on the Drag. I noticed that all the restaurants were grab and go type restaurants typical of college students. The set up of the restaurants were all aimed at college students, hence their placement on the Drag, but I felt a bit sad to note that none of the restaurants were quite like family cooking or actually like places where you can sit down with friends and have a “real” meal with mashed potatoes and dessert and something not inside a pita or two slices of wheat bread. There should be more restaurants like the Cracker Barrel or Jims-type restaurants that promote eating a meal and actually sitting down to enjoy it. Sure there’s Kirby Lane, but that’s just about the only alternative with the exception of a few Asian restaurants. Overall I’d like to see college students relaxing and enjoying meals without having to race as fast as they can to get their food, pay and then scarf it down.
