The dining hall and bistro can get to be a bit boring on our taste buds after a few weeks at Clark. Luckily, the city of Worcester offers an excellent variety of dining experiences for you to enjoy.  Sure we all love a breakfast bite at Annie’s Diner (you would be crazy not to!) or a late night pizza run to Uncle Sam’s, but some of us may want to further explore the wonders of what Worcester can offer a Clarkie student. Here are a few restaurants relatively close to Clark that are tried and true student favorites!
