Urban dictionary had way too many varying explanations, so that didn\u2019t help much either. I do<\/em> know that the real star is the food. Which is why I recently wrote a post about making your own food<\/a>, or trying some of the great food that U of T has to offer. What I like to keep in mind though, is that I\u2019m here for about 4 years. I don\u2019t plan on making couscous every day\u00a0when some of the best places to eat are just off campus.\r\n\r\nBeing in the heart of downtown Toronto, I always like to try out what our amazing city has to offer! It\u2019s all a part of the student experience, right? \u00a0I\u2019ve spent many a study session abandoning my books and going for walks around the outskirts of our campus, and I\u2019ve found some really great places. Here are a few of my favorite eateries so far!\r\n\r\nMillie Creperie<\/a> near Spadina and College<\/strong> - This one was a fairly recent find. A friend and I decided to walk around the area and we found this place tucked away in Kensington. The crepes are served in this little cone, which doesn\u2019t make it any easier to eat, but makes it cuter to look at!\r\n\r\n

Must-try: Mango Tango Crepe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nBanh Mi Boys<\/a> near Queen and Spadina<\/strong> - I found Banh Mi Boys during my Toronto staycation and although it\u2019s probably the furthest spot from U of T, it\u2019s definitely worth the walk! I never realized my love for Vietnamese food until I came across this place!\r\n\r\n

Must-try: I\u2019ve said it before; I\u2019ll say it again. Kim-chi fries!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nFresh <\/a>near Bloor and Spadina<\/strong> - If you\u2019re vegan or vegetarian, you have to try this place out! They have amazing smoothies and a fairly large menu with vegan\/vegetarian versions of your favorite foods! Must-try: Sweet Potato fries! They were good enough that I didn\u2019t even have time to take a picture \ud83d\ude41\r\n\r\nDlish Cupcakes<\/a> near Yonge and Bloor<\/strong> - Dlish does amazing cupcakes. There are so many flavours to choose from, and it\u2019s conveniently close by to campus in Yorkville. #classy.\r\n\r\n

Must-Try: \u2026cupcakes?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nSakura Sushi<\/a> near Bloor and Spadina<\/strong> - Even if you aren\u2019t a fan of sushi, this place has plenty to offer in terms of udon, grilled meats, desserts and more. Also, did I mention it was all you can eat? *Cheers*\r\n\r\n

Must-try: It\u2019s all you can eat. Try Everything<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\nSo that was my foodie adventure (so far). So tell me U of T, what are your favourite off-campus places to eat?\u00a0<\/em>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
