Food on the Ave

NE University Way, also known as “The Ave” is located one block west of west campus and has the highest density of restaurants in the University District. Simply follow University Way north from 41st street to 50th street and you'll be sure to find something to eat. Also, always take a friend with you, especially when it's dark outside. We don't recommend straying too far north or west of the Ave at night for safety reasons. Vegetarian (V) and Vegan (Ve) options available.

ARUW Favorites:

University Village

Located a 5-10 min walk from north campus (down a big hill!), University Village is a mall complex with many restaurants and stores. The restaurants found here stand in stark contrast to the establishments on The Ave in both style and price but consist of a variety of food. Vegatarian (V) and Vegan (Ve) options available.

Grass-Touching Locations

  • UW Campus
    We have a nice campus! Get sprayed by goose shit water at Drumheller fountain! Fight some geese. Show them who is boss.
  • The Quad
    On UW Campus, has nice trees, never-before seen in Texas. Unfortunately, they are not pink right now.
  • Gas Works Park
    About a 20-30min walk from the HUB. Nice water view and rolling hills.
