Printable Restaurant List

Here's a printable list of restaurants in the East Bay that are sorted by area. Good for reference. Not necessarily a checklist, but might help narrow options in a pinch.

The ready-to-go pasta salads are often over-seasoned, but it's always a good amount of food for the price you pay. Usually quick service, though anything that needs to be heated or prepared (i.e. sandwich, large salad) might cause you to wait a bit longer than you think you should - a problem for those on a break between classes. As pricey as the sandwiches seem (they aren't very large, either), they're delicious, especially right when you get them - they're hot, toasted just right, and all the ingredients are perfect. My favorite of the bunch so far: Turkey Pesto (seeded roll w/pesto, smoked mozzarella, red pepper, sun-dried tomato, spinach).

And a lil' note on something I learned from a friend: the Coppa sandwich is NOT vegetarian. Here's why.
