ZACHARY LODNER, COLLEGE, CLASS OF '02 "Genji's the spot. The sushi is awesome."
NATHAN THOMPSON, COLLEGE, CLASS OF '99 "I guess the New Deck. The menu's not bad and you can enjoy a beer with it."
SOLOMON STEPLIGHT, ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE, MASTER'S "I never eat out. I cook. I learned my lesson. I don't have enough money to eat out."
JULIE FITZPATRICK, COLLEGE, CLASS OF '99 "The White Dog. It's a nice place to eat. I like the atmosphere. It's comfortable. If your family's in, it's a nice place to go."
