For dinner on Friday, there is a large selection of nearby places to eat. Fourth Street offers a variety of good, but informal, restaurants: The Siam House (Thai), Puccini's (Italian), Red Sea (Eritrean), Casablanca (Moroccan). Inexpensive student fare can be found in abundance on Kirkwood. If you're in the mood for Indian food, try Shanti at 221 E. Kirkwood.

There are two Tibetan restaurants on Grant Street, Cafe D'Jango and The Snow Lion.

Starbucks is between Fourth and Kirkwood on Indiana Ave, right across from Bryan Hall. There are also several local coffee shops scattered in the area. Bloomington Bagel is on Dunn St, between 3^rd and 4^th.

Further west (about four more blocks) is downtown Bloomington. Around the courthouse square there is The Malibu Grill (American), Samira (Afghani), and The Bakehouse, a world-class bakery (also serves sandwiches).

This map shows the portion of Fourth and Kirkwood streets close to the university. The restaurants start one block off the map towards the west.
