Cornell’s eateries were recently recognized for their abundance, variety and impressive buffets by Parents & Colleges. The university ranked fourth as one of the “Top 10 Best College Eats” for 2010.

Highlights: the distinct ambience of each Cornell dining facility, many food options – such as deli sandwiches, pasta, grilled food, stir-fry, Kosher, salad bars, smoothies and desserts – and the variety of vegetarian/vegan, ethnic and late-night dining. Cross-country gourmet events, outdoor dining and Sunday brunches were also noted.
