Popular Food Spots for Notre Dame Students

By Grace Meadow '29

The location of our school, situated between the Meatpacking District and Chelsea, is arguably one of the best places in the city to grab a quick bite. From getting coffee with friends in the morning to picking up a sweet treat after school, there’s always something nearby.

In the morning, a warm cup of coffee is always comforting. Before school starts, you

may spot many students hanging out with their friends at Think Coffee or one of the two Starbucks locations. Another popular café is Blank Street, known for its unique matcha lattes. Whether it’s before or after school, grabbing a cup of coffee with friends is one of the favorite activities for ND girls!

Just like coffee and caffeinated drinks, little sweet treats and quick bites are another favorite among our students. Two spots close to our school are the famous Swedish candy store, Bon Bon, and the iconic Chelsea Market. Located only a few blocks away, Chelsea

Market offers almost every cuisine imaginable. The old warehouse, now a mix of office spaces and storefronts, features many captivating places to eat, along with charming gift shops and stylish stores. If you don’t have plans after school, Chelsea Market is the place to be. Nearby is Bon Bon, another favorite among Chez Nous. From Sweden to New York, Bon Bon offers a colorful array of candies in nearly every flavor and texture.

Another popular dessert spot, just an E train ride away, is the newly opened Mi Mi’s Frozen Yogurt in SoHo. An Australian import loved for its fresh toppings, froyo flavors, and bright décor, Mi Mi’s is a great pick when the weather gets warmer.

With all the spots listed in this article, hopefully, you’ll be inspired to try at least one of them!
