The restaurant in focus is one that has been around for a while: Honey Pig. At Honey Pig, it's not an all you can eat. they do it more restaurant style, but you also buy by the pound. Their menu is very large, and unfortunately, the waiters did not give me enough time to read it. The restaur...

What could be better for a college student than a cheap, filling, delicious, and convenient meal? Nothing. That's why I think the Original Pancake House is the right for college students.

Paladar can be summed up in 7 words: a party any time of the day! The warm welcoming of the smiles on the employees and the speed at which they sat me down foreshadowed an awesome dining experience.
