Eats & Treats
My go-to food spots in and around Longmeadow — quick bites between classes, sit-down dinners, and the places I take people when they visit.
I literally have to STOP MYSELF from buying this daily, the ingredients are always fresh and the flavors are to die for.
Joy Bowl East Longmeadow
My burger spot. The truffle fries alone are worth the trip.
Max Burger MA
Classic Springfield pizza. The crust is unreal and it's perfect for team dinners.
Red Rose Pizzeria
Live blues and BBQ — such a fun night out when my family visits.
Theodore's Blues, Booze, and BBQ
My favorite Mediterranean food around here. The hummus and shawarma are so fresh.
Nadim's
Historic German spot in Springfield. The vibe is so cool and the food is hearty.
Student Prince Cafe and The Fort
Coffee & Study Spots
Where I actually get work done — good wifi, good coffee, and seats I can camp in for hours.
My default study spot. I camp here with my laptop for hours.
Starbucks Coffee Company
Good wifi, endless coffee refills, and the bread bowl soups get me through midterms.
Panera Bread
Quick iced coffee runs before 8ams. The drive-thru is fast.
Dunkin'
Things To Do
Fun stuff to do when I need a break from campus — parks, museums, and the big attractions a short drive away.
Huge beautiful park for walks and runs. The rose garden in spring is gorgeous.
Forest Park
You can't live in Springfield and not go. The interactive exhibits are actually so fun.
