Just three minutes from the Rockland Community College Campus is Route 59, which is filled with many great places to eat. The top five selected are scattered along Route 59, but are no more than seven minutes away. These tasty options are very convenient and won't hurt your wallet, either.

If you are in the mood for a quick burger or your typical fast food restaurant, then "Wendy's" is certainly a great suggestion. Wendy's is on the left where Spook Rock Road meets Route 59. Besides being well-known for their burgers, they also specialize in sandwiches, fries, and chili. The 24-hour drive-thru is also a great feature for ordering on the go.

In that same shopping center, there is a Chinese take-out restaurant called "King Dynasty." This small place offers fantastic lunch specials that can appeal to any customer. The basic lunches offer different combinations of noodles, vegetables, chicken, meat, and seafood for only $4.95. There's also a diet menu that contains healthier options for less than $7. Either way, this option is a quick way to get fresh Chinese food on the go.

If you're in the mood for pizza, a great suggestion is "Bella Vita Pizzeria and Restaurant," located in the Wal Mart shopping center on Route 59. A normal slice costs around $2 and a gourmet slice is about $3. Gourmet slices include baked ziti, chicken parmigiana, veggie, Philly cheesesteak, and other great choices. This pizzeria also serves salads, delicious appetizers, and heroes.

Further down on Route 59, there is a small shopping center that has a "Subway." Subway is great because it's open for breakfast and you can order a foot long sub for just $5. This reasonable option is great because you can choose what type of bread, meat, cheese, vegetable, and condiment you would like on your sandwich. There is also the option of including a drink and chips!

Lastly, if you're in the mood for an affordable meal at a deli, a great suggestion would be "Airmont Eats." This deli serves many different types of food. The food served here ranges from scrumptious appetizers, to hearty soups, to a fabulous pasta bar, sandwiches, and their well known brick oven pizza. With great prices and different selections, this deli has truly established itself as a great place to eat. With a pasta bar at $7.99, a salad bar at $5.99, and sandwiches for less than $8, this successful restaurant has made a name for itself by serving great food at reasonable prices.

These five places are smart options to eat or grab to go when hungry during a day of classes. Take a trip to any of these recommended restaurants and grab yourself a bite of tasty and affordable delights.
