College Guide: St. Thomas University & Florida Memorial University
Students return to South Florida campuses this week, so we thought we'd help the freshmen out with a little guide to where to go to escape dining hall food. This is the second in a series of five posts that will cover each local university. This time: St. Thomas and Florida Memorial University, located just a few blocks from each other.
Pizza: You have two options: Tony's Pizza Cafe, which offers New York-style pizza, and Vita Nova, which makes more of an Argentine-style pie.
Late Night: Sadly, there aren't too many options in the area. Looks like the best bet is the Miami Subs Grill on 167th street and 43rd avenue, which is open until 2 a.m. 
Cheap Eats: Definitely try Jerk Machine, a local chain of Jamaican restaurants, where you can fill up on jerk pork or curry goat for under $7.
Chinese: Pickings are pretty slim, but you've got two options fairly close to campus: China City and Chop Suey for your standard lo mein and hot-and-sour soup.
On Mom and Dad's Dime: The Mahogany Grille, an upscale soul food restaurant owned by Andre Dawson, has gotten great reviews and was awarded Best Sunday Supper this year from the New Times. It's definitely worth a visit.
