Top 5 places to eat on your student’s dime

Aloha Sushi $-$$
With a trendy interior and fresh sushi made in front of you, who said Walla Walla can’t have good sushi? The lunch special with a salad, soup and sushi roll for under $7 is a great deal not to mention tasty. If you want to take the family bonding up a notch, take advantage of the one dollar sake bombs.
Contact: 7 1/2 S. 1st St., (509) 527-8744

Fast Eddy’s $
Fast Eddy’s is the classic burger joint where you get served in your car (or on the picnic tables). The burgers and fries are a solid step above fast food and Fast Eddy’s juicy Walla Walla sweet onion rings are rightfully famous and the milkshakes may very well be better than The Ice-Burg’s famous shakes.
Contact: 600 N. Main St., (509) 527-2757

La Monarcha II $
The ambiance (the Napa auto parts parking lot) may leave a bit to be desired, but who cares after you’ve feasted on the amazing Walla Walla burrito and fresh horchata? You can’t spend a weekend in Walla Walla without a trip to a taco truck. There are lots of options, but La Monarcha II is consistently delicious and less than a mile from campus
Contact: In front of 1828 E. Issacs Ave.

Thai City $$
The newest ethnic restaurant in town serves up authentic Thai Food. Entrees run around $11, so it’s a bit pricier. Be prepared for a long wait during restaurant rush hours. However, if you call ahead for take-out your food should be ready in no time!
Contact: 311 S. 9th Ave., (509) 525-2566

Sweet Basil $-$$
Sweet Basil’s gourmet pizza by the slice (two for five dollars) or the pie along with tasty calzones, sandwiches and salads are a student favorite for good reason. You may have to fight through big crowds at rush times, but you can always order to go and take your pizza to the park. Don’t forget to bring your Whitman I.D. to take advantage of their student discount.

    “ethnic restaurant”?!

    Is “white” no longer an ethnicity? Or is it just the only important one that the others must define themselves against.
