Quickie
lunch
Though the best quickie lunch options may not be the best anymore when
too many people know about them, we figured we would ask —
Where can we get a decent lunch in 15 minutes or less?
 Pete Coppa, Wharton
’02
“I’ll go with the Greek Lady. She puts on a lot of sweet peppers.”
Libby Irwin, College ’02
“Williams [Hall]. It has a line but it’s not like a cafeteria.
They have a mean salad and good oatmeal raisin cookies.”
Faye Iosotaluno, Wharton ’02
“I like the fruit salad trucks; it’s a healthy alternative.”
Cori Packard, College ’01
“I won’t go to a place with a line. Maybe Dunkin’ Donuts
is the best place because as a chain with an efficient service system
it is the only place that you can run into, except maybe for Au Bon Pain
— they have competent workers. It might be the Wharton concept of
maximizing efficiency.”
Vikram Veeramachaneni, College
’02
“The crepe truck [La Petite Creperie]. It’s decent money, cheaper
and good food.”
Van Selby, College ’02
“The crepe truck is the best food truck by far in terms of taste,
and not as greasy as other ones. You can get your food in 15 minutes,
but not necessarily eat it.”
Erik Daron
“I’m an international student. I only know Wawa, but I think
it’s not the best — it is near International House.”
Akshay Ghulati, Wharton ’04
“The Moravian Food Court. It’s the fastest.”
David Perrelli, College ’01
“The Casablanca food truck near the hospital outside Williams. I
go there all the time. It’s very cheap and probably the best Middle
Eastern food I’ve ever had — suprising from a truck.”
Jared Bassoff, College ’01
“Kim’s food truck by Gimbel. It’s cheap but it’s really
good, too. You get a lot of food and it’s fresh.”
Meghan Bilton, College ’01
“Magic Carpet food truck. It’s the fastest thing around that’s
healthy.”
Sarah Mutz, College ’01
“Magic Carpet food truck has a long line, but it’s a convenient
location with all my classes around it. Plus, I’m a big fan of falafel.”
Matt Zerden, College ’01
“The food trucks by Gimbel. You have options, from Chinese to Quaker
Shaker. It’s cheap, quick and good.”
Josh Newcomer, College ’01
“The Gold Standard. I get take out, and it’s pretty quality
food considering the cost, with good sandwiches.”
Andrea Campbell, College
’03
“I would get a bagel at Wawa.”
