Lunch-Out Recommendation 

Hero Burger 

So many times at lunch out the entire grade has immediately bolted for Holy Chuck, but my friends and I have discovered a less popular alternative. Hero Burger is less crowded, often cheaper, and has more vegetarian options for those with dietary restrictions. Also, they have great poutine. Just saying.

Bagel House

Now, I know some of you are thinking, Bagels for lunch? Really? As a die-hard bagel fan, all this signifies to me is that you haven’t all been to the really good bagel restaurants. Not only are they healthier than all the fast food sold around our school, but they can come in a variety of flavours with a variety of toppings. 

Loblaws

When I asked a group of students for their favourite lunch spots near York, this was by far the most popular response. Their reasons: it’s exceptionally fast, has so many options and is healthier than a lot of the alternatives. My explanations: The self checkout prevents long wait times, they sell virtually everything you could want, and have more than just fried food. The sushi is a personal favourite, and the pizza is quite popular. 

Domino's 

Speaking of pizza, Domino’s is perfect and a great choice to visit with friends. Apart from its wait-times, Domino’s is essentially the ideal choice. It’s super close to the school, only one crosswalk away, and is quite cheap compared to certain restaurants and other pizza places. Be sure to take advantage of your rates and ratios lessons in math to pool your money with friends and get more food per person. 

Tim Hortons

Guess who also just started selling pizza! And it’s not half bad, either. Tim Hortons is close to a very nice park, so you can eat there during the warmer months. While you’re there, you can grab a donut or a muffin, too. Win-win situation, if you ask me.
