So much to do so much to see. And, more importantly, so much to eat.
An abundance of fab eateries ring the University of Arizona campus. Strike out in any direction and you’ll run into plenty of delicious options.
Here are some suggestions within walking distance of campus:
1702, 1702 E. Speedway, 325-1702.1702az.com Craft beer and pizza. Need we say more? No, we really don’t. But along with incredibly knowledgeable servers, we’ll mention that not too long ago, Men’s Health Magazine’s website named it one of the nation’s 20 best college beer bars.
Allegro – II Gelato Naturale, 446 N. Campbell Ave., 207-1991, gelatoallegro.com Whether you prefer classic straticciatella (chocolate chip) or more off-the-wall flavors (we’ve seen — and even tasted — saffron), Allegro’s creamy, cold confections hit the spot.
