City Guide

The City of Bloomington has put together a great guide to the city, which includes an excellent section about restaurants. Check it out:

www.visitbloomington.com/restaurants

There are a variety of restaurants within the Biddle Hotel and IMU Complex, as well as nearby on campus. During summer hours (when we'll be there), most on-campus restaurants are only open for lunch, or in the afternoon, and not in the evening, and they are not open on weekends. For dinner, check out the Restaurants to Walk To section.
