Check out the amazing food at Brown!

Tasting Brown
Charlene Wang

I have always thought of writing about college food. The all-you-can-eat bananas, late night cookies, and secret recipe in each dining hall have rearranged my diet. Living above V-Dub (the second largest dining hall), I was motivated enough to get up in the morning and have the first omelet and fresh bananas at 7:30. Yet that great habit ended as the winter approached and drained my morning energy away.

Anyhow, I still manage to have some quality food every other weekend. On campus, I usually have a hearty brunch with omelet/scrambled egg, bananas, and cupcakes/doughnuts at Ratty (the largest dining hall on campus). With so much protein and sugar per meal, I am halfway through the milestone of freshman fifteen.

A typical college meal (with a lot of vegetables)

My favorite place to eat/stay is Andrews (a.k.a.the best dining/residential hall on campus). I often have Pho for lunch and enjoy the dinner special.

Bibimbap Monday

I did not realize how good (American) Korean food is until I came to Brown. We also have an amazing food truck Mama Kim that delivers nice food at a reasonable price.

Mama Kim Half Pork Half Beef Rice Set

Mama Kim is my favorite food truck on Waterman Street. I usually order it first when I am in a hurry. It also relieves my stress with the juicy meat and crispy kimchi. (I have also heard good things about the Vietnamese Lotus Pepper and the Thai Ice Cream Roll.)

Den Den Hot Stone Bibimbap, Lunch with Erica

Den Den is one of the best Korean restaurant near campus. If you cannot stand Korean spice, they will serve the flavor that suits you. The portion is quite large but I still finished in one sitting. (Den Den is moving to Angell Street in late January 2017!)

Aside from Korean food, we also have Taiwanese steam buns at Andrews.

Steam buns and Pasta Thursday

Given the insane long line for Pasta, I always go straight to have the steam buns. Three buns with pork/chicken--if you do not know how to order, just say you want everything.

Sushi Friday

I used to buy the $8 sushi set from Blue Room/Science Library (convenient cafe), yet it is so expensive compared to the man-made Sushi Bento set at Andrews. I don't know why they usually serve dumplings with sushi, but all that matters is the tasty flavor.

Here is another great sushi place called Sakura. I have also heard good things about Haruki NONexpress (and more on my list).

Sakura Business Lunch, Lunch with Linda

These are some of the highlights at Brown. I am currently Yelping for nice food in Providence and beyond.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
