Seniors depart from campus everyday… but where do they go?

Seniors depart from campus everyday... but where do they go?

This school year, seniors have the privilege to head off-campus during their lunch period to their favorite spots. There are countless quick and on-the-go places that seniors look forward to visiting with their friends to get their preferred food and drinks. Which franchises seem to be the most visited by York seniors? Here are the top five off-campus places that students seem to favor the most.

 

1. Starbucks

The most popular place that students expressed a liking for is the favorable coffee shop, Starbucks. Understandably, Starbucks is the perfect place for students to go when in need of an iced coffee or a refreshing lemonade. Besides the custom drinks, Starbucks carries numerous food items that compliment your preferred refreshments perfectly. The food items, ranging from breakfast sandwiches to muffins, are ideal to acquire and eat when on a time crunch. Also, the broad assortment of seasonal beverages keeps students coming back all year.

 

2. Whole Foods

Another destination that many students enjoy going to during their lunch period is the enormous supermarket, Whole Foods. The main appeal about Whole Foods that makes it stand out is the variety of options it offers. Whether you have a taste for sushi, smoothies, or anything from the hotbar, Whole Foods has it all. Additionally, if you ever need something on-the-go to bring back to school for a snack, the numerous products from the grocery section can satisfy your needs.

 

3. Chipotle

Chipotle carries many tasty items on their menu, but they are specifically known for their bowls and burritos. Something unique about Chipotle compared to other spots is that the workers make your meal right in front of you. The Chipotle workers will ask you exactly what you want so your meal is customized perfectly to cure your craving. In addition, the nearest Chipotle to the school is located in the strip mall off Route-83, a short drive away. The combination of efficiency and convenience makes it a senior’s favorite spot.

4. Chick-fil-a

Chick-fil-a is known for its famous chicken sandwiches and crisp lemonade, which makes it a fan favorite alone. But, the significant factor that makes Chick-fil-a a senior’s favorite place to go during lunch is its proximity to the school. Though many seniors have access to a car on campus, not everyone has the luxury. This spot is a perfect walking distance from the school, allowing students to have enough time to eat and walk there and back.

 

5. Guac N Tacos

An amazing local restaurant that stands out to many folks in the Elmhurst community is Guac N Tacos. It is located in uptown Elmhurst and offers a variety of options on the menu, so there is something for everyone. Another fantastic aspect about this restaurant is their focus on bringing Hispanic culture to Elmhurst, which creates a more welcoming environment. Many seniors go to Guac N Tacos to enjoy authentic Mexican food that comes from an amazing local restaurant which has had a positive impact on the Elmhurst community.
