<div>[[Category:Williamspeak]]<br />
A popular alias for [[Driscoll]] Dining Hall. According to rumors heard in 2001, the name probably arose from students' experiences with an unusually large number of dirty foodware, especially glasses. Some members of the class of 2002 claim the name originated when the dining hall had an infestation of flies in 1998. Driscoll is also known colloquially as "The Dr.," short for Dr. Iscoll, due to its unsurpassed class, elegance, and bounty. <br />
<br />
At one time, some [[Berkshire Quad]] [[JA]]s would consider taking their [[frosh]] to [[Baxter]] for every meal, and simply never telling them about the existence of Driscoll. Because Driscoll is a squat building situated low enough to be out of view of any place in the [[Odd Quad]], this plan may well have garnered success for a few weeks. I cannot confirm that this was ever actually tried.<br />
<br />
Recent years have seen significant improvements in both the cleanliness and quality of food at [[Driscoll]], prompting some to call it "the Delicious D". No longer the ugly stepsister of [[Greylock Dining Hall|Greylock]], [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]], and [[Mission Dining Hall|Mission]], 2005 ushered in the era of delicious Driscoll lunches featuring specials like [[Sandwiches#Dining Services Sandwiches|Aunt Vicky's BBQ Beef Sandwich]], and a fresh pasta bar complete with chef and fresh garlic bread.</div>Jlandsmahttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Baxter_Hall&diff=16341Baxter Hall2008-03-11T03:31:58Z<p>Jlandsma: links</p>

[[Image:Baxter from lawn.png|left|Baxter as seen from Baxter Lawn, dressed up for commencement and reunions]]<br />
Ground breaking for Baxter Hall took place on September 13, 1952, and the building was dedicated in February 21, 1954. Named for the [[James Phinney Baxter III]], Class of 1914, who served as [[President]] of the College from 1937-1961, the building has served as [[freshman]] center, student union and [[dining hall]], while providing office space for [[Category:Groups|student organizations]] and college [[departments]]. Cost to complete the building was 1.5 million dollars. Perry, Shaw, Hepburn, Kehoe and Dean was the architectural firm responsible for designing the structure.<br />
<br />
Renovations to Baxter Hall in 1984/85 involved renovating the first floor area to include new office space for student organizations, a [[darkroom]], xerox, and conference rooms. A new entrance was added to the main level, as well as new lounge and mailroom areas. In addition to the construction of the office and commons areas, the heating and ventilation systems were overhauled, the [[WCFM]] studio was refurbished, and a new fire alarm system was installed.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Baxter from Rt2 B&W.jpg|right|thumb|Baxter in its early days. Note that it looks like a steamboat. This was on purpose.]]<br />
<br />
Baxter was demolished beginning in the summer of 2004 to make way for the [[Paresky Center]], completed in February 2007. <br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Williamspeak]]<br />
Each student has a personal SU Box where they receive campus and postal mail. SU stands for Student Union, because the boxes are located in the student union (first [[Baxter]], now [[Paresky Center|Paresky]]). They were relocated to the four [[dining hall]]s during the construction of the new student center and a building number was added to every student's address ([[Mission Park]]- Building A, [[Greylock]]- Building B, [[Driscoll]]- Building C, [[Dodd House]] House- Building D). They are now in the new [[Paresky Center]].<br />
<br />
<br />
==Combination==<br />
To open your box you need a combination which you receive at the beginning of the school year, mailed to your home. If you lose or forget that combination, you can always go to the [[campus post office]] and ask about it. It is absolutely free. <br />
<br />
==Opening your mailbox==<br />
Opening your mailbox is a little tricky. You have to turn right three times before stopping at the first number of the combination, then go left passing by your second number once and stopping at it the second time, and then go right again to the third number. Now, push the knob in and turn it to the left and pull the box open.<br />
<br />
==History of S.U. boxes==<br />
S.U. boxes are important to Williams students, so we preserve some history of the time before Paresky mailboxes.<br />
<br />
===Mailbox size===<br />
The [[Baxter]] mailboxes were about three inches wide by four inches tall -- big enough for a letter, and big enough for a folded magazine or large envelope, but not big enough for the majority of three-dimensional packages. Hence the happily-received package slip bearing the words '''PACKAGE TOO LARGE FOR BOX'''. This slip was so popular that the Baxter mail room sold T-shirts bearing these words. The new boxes in [[Paresky]] are significantly bigger. This allows students to receive DVDs and other smallish packages in their SU boxes, but it also means that the top boxes are very high up and the bottom boxes are very close to the ground; see [http://wso.williams.edu/discuss/comments.php?DiscussionID=758&page=1#Item_0 WSO discussion] on this topic.<br />
<br />
===Mailbox-opening===<br />
It used to be, in [[Baxter]] and then in the [[Dining hall|dining halls]] (which used the old Baxter mailboxes), that one had to first turn the dial to the left three times until reaching the first number, then to the right, and so on such that everything was "backwards" from a standard combination lock. However, the new Paresky mailboxes turn to the right first, and thus are less confusing for [[First-year|first-years]].<br />
<br />
===Locations during construction===<br />
The location of boxes during the Paresky Center construction depended on your geographical location on campus but, contrary to popular belief, did not depend on the [[cluster]] you were in. For example, the residents of [[Spencer House|Spencer]], [[Mark Hopkins House|Mark Hopkins]], and [[Bryant House|Bryant]] all had their mailboxes in [[Greylock Dining Hall|Greylock]], which would lead one to believe that all members of Spencer [[Neighborhood|neighborhood]] had their mailboxes there. However, this is not true, as the residents of [[West College|West]] had to trek all the way to [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]] to get their mail.</div>Jlandsmahttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=SU_box&diff=16339SU box2008-03-11T03:26:22Z<p>Jlandsma: </p>

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Athletics]]<br />
A Ripping group of skiers who specialize in the gravity assisted aspect of skiing. They also like long skate boards. <br />
Due to the prevalence of post-grad years in the sport, team members tend to be old for their year.<br />
<br />
In college racing, each competition (called "carnivals" after the various winter carnivals they are associated with) consists of two days of racing, one of slalom and one of GS (giant slalom), in which all of the teams in the league compete. Each team enters six men and six women for the entire weekend, and the top three finishers from each team contribute to the team score. The nordic team is scored in a similar manner.<br />
<br />
The Williams [[Winter Carnival]] is one of the three permanent carnivals on the circuit, Darmouth and Middlebury also have yearly carnivals, whereas the other member schools rotate hosting privileges. The men's alpine team has had an enviable record in the last two years at this event, winning the overall both years, as well as putting multiple Williams racers at the top of the podium. Charles Christianson 08' won the GS in 05', and the slalom in 06', while Eric Mann took the GS victory in 06'.<br />
<br />
The Williams team competes in the Division I EISA (Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association), which in recent years has become one of the most competitive circuits in North America, sending multiple racers from its ranks onto the national team, as well as national teams for other countries. The member schools include Bates, Colby, Dartmouth, Harvard, Middlebury, St. Lawrence, St. Michael's, University of Vermont, University of New Hampshire, and Williams. Also, because most carnivals are run under FIS (Federation Internationale du Ski) rules, a number of independent racers also compete.<br />

<div>''This is an article about the tradition of reading tales to friends and children begun circa spring 2002. For information on the tale-telling in the [[Paresky Center]] informally known by the same name, see [[Let Me Tell You A Story]].<br />
<br />
Storytime is a tradition of gathering together to tell and listen to stories. The stories are usually fairy, folk, or modern bedtime tales, though this is usually of the host's choosing. The setting has evolved over the years, but always attempts to capture a milieu of innocence, usually in a cozy environment.<br />
<br />
Presently, Storytime is an event for local children at the [[Williamstown Public Library]] organized and performed by Williams students. To join or attend, contact [[Ariel Heyman]], '08, at <email>08aeh@williams.edu</email>.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Storytime began as the brainchild of Chris Holmes '03. There were some readings during the spring of 2002, but the tradition really got going during his senior year in fall of 2002, when he switched rooms with a friend in [[Currier Hall|Currier]] so that he could have the second floor room whose window opened out to the balcony. From that ledge, he read stories regularly to members of a group of [[Odd Quad]]ders and friends who would eventually become the [[Deviants]]. Chris or his close friend Jesse Dill '04 would usually choose the stories and listeners would spread sleeping bags and blankets and gather on the quad grass to listen, usually at night.<br />
<br />
An event by the same name and in similar character was carried on by a group of friends, most from the [[http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Category:Class_of_2005|'05]], based in [[Mark Hopkins House]] in the [[Greylock Quad]]. Meetings were in the building's first floor [[common room]] and usually featured things baked by Jocelyn Gardner '05 and her helpers.<br />
<br />
In fall 2004 and after, Storytime changed into a reading and performance for children at the Williamstown Public Library, led then by Lucy Thiboutot '05, who recruited her friends to read and play characters from children's tales. Quite many of the players and costumes were from the [[Elizabethans]]. Weekend mornings or afternoons were typical times. Rehearsal minimal. Props might include a giant stuffed dog serving as a noble steed.<br />

<div>[[Category:Groups]] [[Category:Athletics]]<br />
''For an introduction to the game of Ultimate, see [[Basics of Ultimate Frisbee]]''<br />
<br />
WUFO, the Williams Ultimate Frisbee Organization, is perhaps the largest student organization on campus. WUFO is a co-ed group (although it is subdivided into WUFO and La Wufa), is run by students, and includes a fall club season with A and B teams, a fall IM season, a spring break trip, and a spring college season with A and B teams.<br />
<br />
==Joining==<br />
<br />
A note to those interested in trying out Ultimate: nearly all of WUFO's members had no experience playing ultimate before coming to a WUFO practice. As an organization, WUFO prides itself on being accepting of new members of all levels, who join at any point during the year. If you are interested in frisbee, regardless of experience, [[#Contact|contact us]] or just stop down at [[Poker Flats]] most days at 4PM; we will be happy to introduce you to the sport all of us have fallen in love with.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
Unlike NCAA run sports, Ultimate Frisbee is run by the UPA ([http://www.upa.org www.upa.org]) and all colleges compete in one large division broken into regions. As a result, Williams often finds itself competing against schools more than 10 times its size. Despite this, WUFO has had varied success over the years, most recently winning the West New England sectional tournament 2005 through 2007 and sending teams to Nationals in 2003 and 2007.<br />
<br />
In addition to sporting an A-team and 2 B-teams, WUFO members are often lifelong friends and frequently come back to visit one another and current Wufites. WUFO alums (or [[Kraftee|Kraftees]]) have gone on to play and coach many NE teams; most notable is WUFO's presence on DoG and Twisted Metal, two NE club teams who are both top 10 nationally.<br />
<br />
Every spring, WUFO holds the [[Purple Valley Tournament]].<br />
<br />
A unofficial but deeply entrenched part of the WUFO culture is the holding of creative theme parties. There is even an elected member of the WUFO board dedicated to planning these events, the Master/Mistress of Vice. Parties are typically not quite invite-only but not all-campus either.<br />
<br />
==Traditions==<br />
===Games===<br />
Sometimes, after or between games, teams will get together for group games related or unrelated to frisbee.<br />
<br />
===Cheers===<br />
It is a tradition to perform a team cheer before a game for the combined purposes of psyching yourself up, psyching your rivals out, setting the game mood, and showing off your own cleverness, coordination, or ridiculousness. Most of the cheers are funny, some are unsuitable for tournaments with families present, and some are reprinted below.<br />
<br />
*''El camino, el el camino<br>The front is like a car; the back is like a truck<br>El camino, el el camino<br>The front is where you drive; the back is where you<br>El camino, el el camino<br />
<br />
===Variations===<br />
The below variations on the rules of the game may be suggested by a player (usually by just shouting out the variation name when he thinks there will be general agreement) and may endure for one point or the rest of the game.<br />
<br />
'''Dew Point''' The next point can only be scored by a diving catch.<br />

<br />
WUFO, the Williams Ultimate Frisbee Organization, is perhaps the largest student organization on campus. WUFO is a co-ed group (although it is subdivided into WUFO and La Wufa), is run by students, and includes a fall club season with A and B teams, a fall IM season, a spring break trip, and a spring college season with A and B teams.<br />
<br />
==Joining==<br />
<br />
A note to those interested in trying out Ultimate: nearly all of WUFO's members had no experience playing ultimate before coming to a WUFO practice. As an organization, WUFO prides itself on being accepting of new members of all levels, who join at any point during the year. If you are interested in frisbee, regardless of experience, [[#Contact|contact us]] or just stop down at [[Poker Flats]] most days at 4PM; we will be happy to introduce you to the sport all of us have fallen in love with.<br />
<br />
==Structure==<br />
<br />
Unlike NCAA run sports, Ultimate Frisbee is run by the UPA ([http://www.upa.org www.upa.org]) and all colleges compete in one large division broken into regions. As a result, Williams often finds itself competing against schools more than 10 times its size. Despite this, WUFO has had varied success over the years, most recently winning the West New England sectional tournament 2005 through 2007 and sending teams to Nationals in 2003 and 2007.<br />
<br />
In addition to sporting an A-team and 2 B-teams, WUFO members are often lifelong friends and frequently come back to visit one another and current Wufites. WUFO alums (or [[Kraftee|Kraftees]]) have gone on to play and coach many NE teams; most notable is WUFO's presence on DoG and Twisted Metal, two NE club teams who are both top 10 nationally.<br />
<br />
Every spring, WUFO holds the [[Purple Valley Tournament]].<br />
<br />
A unofficial but deeply entrenched part of the WUFO culture is the holding of creative theme parties. There is even an elected member of the WUFO board dedicated to planning these events, the Master/Mistress of Vice. Parties are typically not quite invite-only but not all-campus either.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Groups]]<br />
<br />
The Debating Society is composed of members from every class and welcomes participation from students with interests that span the academic spectrum. We are a member of the American Parliamentary Debate Association (APDA), and send teams to intercollegiate tournaments regularly throughout the academic year in addition to hosting our own annual intercollegiate tournament.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
The Williams College Debate team has a long and storied history, most of which a certain pair of 2003 graduates forgot to pass along to the next generation of Eph debaters. As the story goes, back in 1996, Chris Willenken (older brother of 2003 National Champion Tim Willenken, Yale '03) and his partner Amanda Amert were our first ever TOTY. Jon Kravis '99 and Adrian Ludwig '98 almost achieved a similar feat, coming in 2nd at the 1998 Nationals, held at GW. Kravis later partnered with Rob Wiygul '00, and the pair did very well for themselves in the limited number of tournaments they went to during Jon's senior year. To this day, Williams debaters are still told stories of how Jon Kravis was 20 feet tall, could make opponents soil themselves with a glance, and forced underclassmen to listen to tapes of Supreme Court oral arguments on the way to tournaments. <br />
<br />
The public face of the Williams team soon became a pair of awkward-yet-lovable Bert and Ernie lookalikes, Josh Kelner '01 and Chris Kemmitt '01. Josh was known for being very analytically rigorous and flow-intensive, while Chris was just *so damn folksy!* They competed very often as freshman and sophomores, and made great strides in increasing the visibility of the Williams team both on campus and on APDA in general. Until the current crop of Eph debaters arrived, it was the last time the Williams team would experience competent leadership. <br />
<br />
In the fall of 1999, two brash, ego-driven loudmouths came to Williams because they were turned down by their Ivy League schools of choice. They each had successful, yet ultimately unfulfilling speech careers in high school: Joe Gallagher '03 was a star extemper from New York who was still steamed about not being in the NFL final round of foreign extemp, and Mike Pinkel '03 came ''this close'' to being the best mock trial attorney in the country. Over the course of that year, the two became fast friends and permanent debating partners. Developing skills that would serve him throughout his entire debate career (being aloof, MO dumping, hoarding points, ignoring time, setting up false dichotomies), Mike snatched the title of Novice of the Year in 1999 in a hard-fought battle with Beth O'Connor of Yale. Joe often wondered why he didn't take up drinking then and there. <br />
<br />
To describe the team under Pinkel and Gallagher as "laid back" gives almost too much credit to stoners around the world. After cursory efforts to help mold bright young minds like Neil Anderson '04, Dan Bahls '04, and Peter Deutsch '04 into lean, mean, debating machines, the two of them gave up and fled to the rainy confines of Oxford for their junior year. Upon their return to the US, neither really wanted to debate all that often. In fact, neither really left campus save to buy expensive bottles of scotch (a habit picked up in England). However, the efforts of Matthew Kugler '05 and the unbelivable potential of Amanda Whiting and Heather Casteel '06 eventually convinced them to take a slightly more active role on the team. The two seniors went to a few tournaments and did well for themselves, and to this day have fond memories of their last ever APDA round against Jessee Alexander-Hoeppner and Andy Tirrell of Columbia. Columbia won. <br />
<br />
It was was Whiting who people began to associate with Williams. She was usually seen debating with her longtime boyfriend and 2003 NOTY, Cornell's Adam Bonnifield—until she too was drawn overseas for the 2004-2005 season. The team is looks forward to the day when unknown gifted Williams debaters of the future can reclaim the respect earned by legends like Willenken, Kravis and Wiygul lost during the ignominy of the Pinkel-Gallagher era.<br />

<div>[[Category:Guides]]<br />
Similar to the very successful [[Guide to Hiking]], which is basically a local trail guide, we could use a guide to open waters near Williams -- a guide to good places for swimming, tubing, kayaking, ice fishing, and anything else that has been done or attempted. Please help out with what you know or have heard of!<br />
<br />
== The Green River ==<br />
<br />
This is the closest body of water to the main part of campus, and probably the most used by students for recreation. Most [[polar bear swim|polar bear swims]] take place here, as well as most spontaneous swimming trips. The river's close location to the [[Odd Quad]] makes it a favorite destination for residents there, especially on hot summer and spring afternoons, and for an organized or unorganized night swim. The river here has shallow and deep parts for all levels of swim ability, as well as a small beach for "It's too freaking cold but I'll watch you" friends. A rope hung from the opposite bank makes a suitable swing for diving on high water days. Locals have been witnessed to fish in parts of the river downstream of the more used bend by the playground. <br />
<br />
There is also a less known accessway to a different, somewhat secluded part of the river, located a ways downstream of the well known part by the playground. It is accessed by passing through a man-sized hole in a stone wall between a corner of the [[cemetery]] and the river. This part of the river is too shallow for swimming most days, but is probably excellent for making out.<br />
<br />
'''Getting to the Green River''' Directions to the part most used for watersports, by the playground.<br />
<br />
:''By car.'' Travel east on Route 2 until you get to Water Street. Make your first left past the firehouse, over a short bridge. You'll see the playground; park just past it.<br />
<br />
:''By foot from the Odd Quad.'' Walk behind [[Fitch]], past [[Spencer Art Studio]] and down the driveway behind it, to Water Street. Cross Water Street; the river is ahead of you. Turn right and walk to a short bridge over the water.<br />
<br />
:''By foot from the Odd Quad, take 2: The Shortcut.'' Walk down the path on the steep hill behind Driscoll. At the base of the hill, turn left and walk between the two faculty art studio buildings to the left of the energy plant. Go down the stairs (you have entered the B&G Zone!), and proceed crosswise over the large gravel lot toward Water Street. The entrance to Linear Park (the aforementioned bridge) is directly across the street.<br />
<br />
:''At the playground.'' Look for many well worn dirt trails leading through the trees, down a steep slope to the river. The most popular area is accessed by the trail near the stone barbecue grill.<br />
<br />
'''Getting to the Green River''' Directions to the secluded part, by the cemetery.<br />
<br />
:''From the playground.'' Instead of taking a dirt trail down to the river here, walk away from Water Street, past the playground parking lot, and follow a badly paved and dirt road that leads into the back of the cemetery. Walk through the cemetery, keeping the forested area that lines the river on your left. After making a huge U, roughly three-quarters of a huge circle, you should come to a grassy area next to some Staghorn Sumacs and a stone wall. There will be a somewhat hidden beaten path to the stone wall. It leads to a doorlike hole in the wall, through which lies the promised waters.<br />
<br />
== The Hopper Swimming Hole ==<br />
<br />
== Hoosic & Green River Juncture ==<br />
<br />
This is a lovely spot for swimming, tubing, or sitting and reflecting. It is within walking distance of campus.<br />
<br />
Head east on Route 2, for about a block or two beyond Cole Ave. You'll see a strange power station (small brick building, lots of power lines) on your left. Walk behind it. You will see a narrow footpath heading back into the underbrush. Follow it, and you'll find yourself walking on a beautiful nature path along the Green River. <br />
<br />
A particularly nice place to stop is about 1/2 or 3/4 mile along the path. You'll see a concrete block with a pipe sticking out of it on your right. Go behind it, and walk down a few steps to the riverbank. This is where the Green and Hoosic Rivers merge. The Green River is very shallow at this point, but where the rivers merge it gets quite deep and good for swimming. There is enough of a current to float in a tube when the water is high, but it's not dangerous at all. There is a pebbled "beach" to hang out on as well.<br />
<br />
When you're done enjoying yourself, continue following the path in the same direction, and you will end up on a street just behind the Spirit Shoppe.<br />
<br />
Note: this path is also a very nice place to go [[running]].<br />

==Facts==<br />
Jonathan Landsman works through his post-graduation lack of outlets for writing here. At Williams, he co-led the [[Forest Garden]] with [[Vivian Schoung]] '05, whom he met in the garden's raspberry patch. He served on [[College Council]], most notoriously as its secretary. He led [[bridge club]] for a year or so with Matt Spencer '05, and with the latter also led [[Dancing Folk]] and planned many of its campus [[contradance]]s, his greatest love at college. <br />
<br />
He wasted an estimated 125 hours playing over 500 games of [[cribbage]] against his arch-rival and close friend [[Zach McArthur]] '05.<br />
<br />
Jonathan is now a graduate student in Horticulture at Cornell, building on the solid foundation in English and Psychology garnered at Williams. He returns to campus unofficially from time to time to dance, check on the demise of the garden, and wade in the [[Green River]], and officially every two years to deliver a lecture in informal logical fallacies for [[Steven Gerrard]].<br />
<br />
==Legends==<br />
Jonathan Landsman was born on March 8, 1983, in Rutherford, Ohio. His mother, Cynthia Landsman, is noted for her skill as a semi-professional cribbage player. His father, Russ Landsman, is an engineer. He has two siblings ages 19 and 16.<br />
<br />
Jonathan Landsman is not the same as a bicycle. One has two wheels and serves as a popular mode of transportation due to its efficiency at translating the motion of the legs into motion on the ground. The other is a former student of Williams College and a fine young man. Also sometimes bicycles have baskets and bells.<br />
<br />
Jonathan Landsman was always a curious kid growing up. At the age of 7 he tried to climb a tree to touch the sun but fell and broke his leg. After it healed, he tried it again but realized the tree wasn't tall enough. To this day, he hasn't stopped trying.<br />

<hr />
<div>[[Category:Tradition]]<br />
The [[Driscoll]] Deviations were a series of [[pranks]] performed, unsurprisingly enough, by the Driscoll [[Deviants]], a group of students who felt that dinnertime at Williams needed the occasional bit of lightening up. Most of the Deviations took place between 2002 and 2004. <br />
<br />
Notable Deviations included:<br />
*'''Formal Dinner Night''', in which students arrived in full evening attire and were served by volunteer waitstaff.<br />
*'''Pajama Night''', in which students also arrived in "evening attire."<br />
*'''Wild West Night''', which featured water guns, bandanas, atrocious cowboy accents, a sing-along of the theme from "Rawhide," and a pseudo-genuine stringing-up of outlaws.<br />
*'''Fairy Tale Night''', at which princesses, ogres, fairies, mermaids, and vampires frolicked as children's stories were read.<br />
*'''70's Disco Night''', where half of Driscoll got down to the Village People and KC and the Sunshine Gang.<br />
*'''Iron Chef''', at which two teams of cooks made haste to concoct culinary creations that were sometimes disgusting, sometimes phallic, but always inventive.<br />
*'''Rejected Super Heros Night''', where many lesser known heroes emerged in all their ignominy.<br />
*'''Odd Takes [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]]''', the only Driscoll Deviation to take place in a [[dining hall]] other than Driscoll. Some residents of [[Dodd House|Dodd]] swore they'd never forget the moment when an army of pirates, ninjas, and Vikings bearing large [[bopswording|duct-tape swords]] invaded their previously peaceful home.<br />
*'''Gods and Goddesses''', a kind of rite of the spring of 2005 that the heavens surely smiled upon.<br />
*'''Thrift Store''', an event held September 24th 2005 inspired by the recent [[ABC sale]] which took students to the backs of their wardrobes to assemble ensembles tacky enough to fit in.<br />
*'''Future Investment Bankers of America''' in which the odd gave their take on preppy.<br />
<br />
The Deviants still maintain a [[listserver]] (<email>deviants@wso.williams.edu</email>) which is used to organize entertaining and odd activities on campus. Driscoll Deviations, though less common than in years past, occur one or two times per semester.<br />

<div>Storytime is a tradition of gathering together to tell and listen to stories. The stories are usually fairy, folk, or modern bedtime tales, though this is usually of the host's choosing. The setting has evolved over the years, but always attempts to capture a milieu of innocence, usually in a cozy environment.<br />
<br />
Presently, Storytime is an event for local children at the [[Williamstown Public Library]] organized and performed by Williams students. To join or attend, contact [[Ariel Heyman]], '08, at <email>08aeh@williams.edu</email>.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
Storytime began as the brainchild of Chris Holmes '03. There were some readings during the spring of 2002, but the tradition really got going during his senior year in fall of 2002, when he switched rooms with a friend in [[Currier Hall|Currier]] so that he could have the second floor room whose window opened out to the balcony. From that ledge, he read stories regularly to members of a group of [[Odd Quad]]ders and friends who would eventually become the [[Deviants]]. Chris or his close friend Jesse Dill '04 would usually choose the stories and listeners would spread sleeping bags and blankets and gather on the quad grass to listen, usually at night.<br />
<br />
An event by the same name and in similar character was carried on by a group of friends, most from the [[http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Category:Class_of_2005|'05]], based in [[Mark Hopkins House]] in the [[Greylock Quad]]. Meetings were in the building's first floor [[common room]] and usually featured things baked by Jocelyn Gardner '05 and her helpers.<br />
<br />
In fall 2004 and after, Storytime changed into a reading and performance for children at the Williamstown Public Library, led then by Lucy Thiboutot '05, who recruited her friends to read and play characters from children's tales. Quite many of the players and costumes were from the [[Elizabethans]]. Weekend mornings or afternoons were typical times. Rehearsal minimal. Props might include a giant stuffed dog serving as a noble steed.<br />

There were some readings during the spring of 2002, but the tradition really got going during his senior year in fall of 2002, when he switched rooms with a friend in [[Currier Hall|Currier]] so that he could have the second floor room whose window opened out to the balcony. From that ledge, he read stories regularly to members of a group of [[Odd Quadder]]s and friends who would eventually become the [[Deviants]]. Chris or his close friend Jesse Dill '04 would usually choose the stories and listeners would spread sleeping bags and blankets and gather on the quad grass to listen, usually at night.<br />
<br />
An event by the same name and in similar character was carried on by a group of friends, most from the [[http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Category:Class_of_2005|'05]], based in [[Mark Hopkins House]] in the [[Greylock Quad]]. Meetings were in the building's first floor [[common room]] and usually featured things baked by Jocelyn Gardner '05 and her helpers.<br />
<br />
In fall 2004 and after, Storytime changed into a reading and performance for children at the Williamstown Public Library, led then by Lucy Thiboutot '05, who recruited her friends to read and play characters from children's tales. Quite many of the players and costumes were from the [[Elizabethans]]. Weekend mornings or afternoons were typical times. Rehearsal minimal. Props might include a giant stuffed dog serving as a noble steed.<br />

<div>Storytime is a tradition of gathering together to tell and listen to stories. The stories are usually fairy, folk, or modern bedtime tales, though this is usually of the host's choosing. The setting has evolved over the years, but always attempts to capture a milieu of innocence, usually in a cozy environment.<br />
<br />
Presently, Storytime is an event for local children at the [[Williamstown Public Library]] organized and performed by Williams students. To join or attend, contact [[Ariel Heyman]], '08, at <email>08aeh@williams.edu</email>.<br />

is a reading and acting-out of a storybook or two in front of an audience of adorable and adoring children at the [[Williamstown Public Library]], complete with fantastic costumes, usually assembled from the closets of the participants, and incredible props, such as giant stuffed dogs as noble steeds. It occurs at least once a month on a Saturday morning or afternoon, and is wonderful.

<div>The Williams College Women's Center is an inclusive community that brings together students, faculty, staff, alums, and community members. We are women and supporters of women who believe in the value of a woman's voice and believe in the importance of every voice bring heard. We recognize, explore, and celebrate a woman's identity in order to further gender equity on and off campus. The Center seeks to build alliances in order to educate and learn from our community about the facets of a woman's identity including but not limited to gender, ethnicity, sexuality, class, race, culture, and spirituality. The Women's Center is a safe space where women can come together to talk as women and a place for people to talk about gender that is safe for women and their allies. Through promoting women's leadership and constant collaboration with other groups on campus we aim to foster that safe space in the Williams community and beyond.<br />

<hr />
<div>The Bridge Club is a group of students interested in learning, teaching, and playing the card game of bridge. <br />
<br />
== Social bridge ==<br />
<br />
The club's main activity consists of a regular weekly social bridge night, in which players gather to play and teach each other the game in a very causal setting, historically a [[common room]] in the [[Odd Quad]]. Players rotate in and out between hands by informal agreement, so that every player et to play with and against everyone else. Rubber bridge, the more version of the game in which the luck of the cards matters more, is played. Sometimes point are kept, sometimes not, but trash talking is just about always encouraged.<br />
<br />
== Duplicate bridge ==<br />
<br />
In duplicate bridge, a number of teams each play the same sets of cards, thus removing the factor of the luck of the draw from play. This is the version of bridge played in tournaments, and bridge club held four duplicate tournaments in 2004-5, open to all players of minimal experience or greater. <br />
<br />
==History==<br />
<br />
As the game itself has fallen greatly in its popularity among the general population, especially among those younger than 60, so too has the club experienced spikes and valleys in its membership at Williams. By Spring 2002, the club was meeting in the form only of a few [[Odd Quad]]ders who got together to play and teach their friends, but did not advertise meetings or have a listserver. Jason Carini '02 was the last player then to have experienced an active club, and was technically the president of the defunct organization. <br />
<br />
Jason passed the leadership of the club to [[Alaya Kuntz]] '04, who gathered a list of the names and email addresses of known players and people interested in learning on campus. [[Brent Yorgey]] '04 created a listserver of these people and started a regular social bridge game night in the northern [[common room]] on [[Currier]]'s third floor, and [[Jonathan Landsman]] later started a tradition of writing the weekly summons to bridge in humorous styles. Attendance ranged from about 4 to 8, one or two tables, each week.<br />
<br />
2003-4 the official club leadership passed to Jonathan, who lived in Currier third floor that year and kept the meetings in the same common room. Attendance increased markedly in the fall largely due to the game's popularity among a group of students on campus to work there the previous summer, when a lot of new players, particularly '05s, were taught. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Bridge club new players.JPG|thumb]]<br />
<br />
This school year two notable events in the Bridge Club's history occurred: During [[Winter Study]] '04, Matthew Spencer '05 had the idea to teach bridge as a [[Free University]] class. The class was surprisingly popular: sessions were held in the hour before the weekly social bridge night, so that at the end of class experienced players would arrive and give new players the opportunity to try what they had learned in real games. As many as a half dozen students showed for the beginning classes, and at times bridge filled both the north and south common rooms, with over 20 people playing.<br />
<br />
At the end of Winter Study, bridge club held its first duplicate bridge tournament in recent history, using the duplicate equipment of the Williams Bridge Club of old, which [[Captain_Morgan|Professor Morgan]] had stored over the years while the club was dormant. Jonathan Landsman handled the advertising to all players in the area, on and off campus. Matt Spencer handled the details of scoring and directing the tournament. It drew 12 partnerships, three of beginners taught in the Free U class. All together, 22 students and two professors played. Daniel Krass '05 and Professor Morgan won the tournament.<br />
<br />
The spring after that winter study was the peak level of the club's popularity in recent time. Bridge nights typically had at least two tables, often more. The Boston Globe got in touch quoted members of Williams' club in its [http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2004/03/07/a_winning_hand/ article] on the return of bridge to college campuses. At the end of the year, the club held a second duplicate tournament, notable for 24 players again, including two players from the local community, 8 new players, three professors, and two high-school students.<br />

<hr />
<div>Coffee is a part of life for many Williams students. Fortunately, there are many places to go for a cup of joe.<br />
<br />
== EcoCafe ==<br />
<br />
Small: $1.00, Large: $1.25<br />
<br />
Dean's Beans coffee, usually well roasted, but very weakly brewed. The best choice around for reasonably priced organic coffee, but it unfortunately closes too early in the day to be of much use to many students.<br />
<br />
== Tunnel City Coffee ==<br />
<br />
20 oz: $1.90<br />
<br />
Acidic but refreshingly bold. You don't need to drink endless cups to get your fix, just a small cup is satisfying.<br />
<br />
If you have a coffee maker, save money by brewing your own black stuff from their excellent beans. While not all blends are organic or fair-trade, the beans are roasted locally at Tunnel City's location in North Adams.<br />
<br />
== Dining Halls ==<br />
<br />
All you can drink.<br />
<br />
Dean's Beans coffee, sometimes a bit diluted (especially in [[Dodd Dining Hall|Dodd]].) Plus the cups are tiny, bring your own mug.<br />
<br />
== Goodrich Coffee Bar ==<br />
<br />
Small = $1.25, Large = $1.50<br />
<br />
They have nutmeg you can put in your coffee! Be warned, however, that the quality of the actual coffee has been poor to horrendous as of late.<br />
<br />
If there is "extreme caffeine" go for it, it's amazing.<br />
<br />
== Dunkin' Donuts ==<br />
<br />
Coffee that is absolutely delicious, reasonably priced and conveniently available at all hours of the day, or horrible-tasting, not worth the money, and too far away - depending on whom you ask. The Williamstown location, open from 5am to 10 pm, is near Colonial Plaza, which is either a bit of a walk or a short drive. The North Adams location, at the intersection of Rt. 2 and Eagle St., is open 24/7. Note that Dunkin' Donuts only takes cash, no credit or debit.<br />
<br />
== Brewhaha ==<br />
<br />
Located in North Adams near MassMoCA (coincidence?). Excellent toasted muffins.<br />
<br />
== South Street Cafe ==<br />
<br />
A bit of a drive, but who doesn't need their Vermont fix every once in a while? Located off of Rte. 7 in Bennington. The coffee is actually Tunnel City, but the ceiling is gorgeous, the atmosphere comfortable, and the crowd composed of strangers.<br />
<br />
== [[Lambert House]] ==<br />
<br />
Like any self-respecting Seattleite, [[Alan Cordova]] has a stash of gourmet coffee and will brew a cup for you if you ask nicely.<br />
<br />
==Harper House==<br />
<br />
54 Stetson Court, totally free, and you get to use the amazing and magical machine. Coffee by Green Mountain. It helps, but is not necessary, that you be a philosophy student.<br />
<br />
==Physics Common Room==<br />
<br />
Powdered instant coffee mix for an honor system 10 cents. For emergency use only.</div>Jlandsmahttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Springstreakers&diff=7577Springstreakers2006-02-22T01:26:15Z<p>Jlandsma: formatting</p>
<hr />
<div>== Introduction ==<br />
The Springstreakers are a loosely organized group of streakers who have made a name for themselves streaking events at Williams. The group was founded by [[Andrew Whinery]] and [[Morgan Goodwin]] during December of 2004 and has since grown into a large but highly unorganized club. While there have been many high points for the group's career, the focus has always been on capitalizing on a maximum of focused attention to create shock value.<br />
<br />
== Rules ==<br />
# Only streak sober. Streaking is not a shameful act and therefore should not need the influence of substances to convince you into doing it.<br />
# Don't streak little kids. Parents would get angry.<br />
# Don't streak anything with an inordanitely high risk of getting caught.<br />
# Don't streak anything unworthy of getting streaked. Such events include sparsely populated events, unpopular events, things that have been streaked before and things that are unimaginative, eg. run-of-the-mill sporting events.<br />
<br />
== Highlights ==<br />
<br />
===December 2004:===<br />
Williams Hall and Sage Hall during sunday night snacks.<br />
Estimated Number of frosh streaked: 200<br />
<br />
===April 2005:===<br />
Ephoria Concert:<br />
Currier Basement. Special, founders streak. Family weekend, maximum crowd attention and therefore shock. Gordon's parents love it. Overall success. Remmington Shepperd streaked for the third time.<br />
EPS - 150 <br />
<br />
===May 2005:===<br />
Art History 102: Brooks Rogers, professor Eva Grudin's lecture on Pollock's work. Modern art. A reporter and photographer from the Associated Press was also present to witness the event. This highly successful streak was followed by appluase and a very flustered but elated Art professor breaking out into spontaneous giggles for the remainder of the lecture.<br />

===May 2005 (cont'd):===<br />
Hamilton's library (full of windows, I might add) was packed with those silly Hamilton students attempting to do work.<br />
Finals week, the perfect time to streak. For about ten minutes, not many people were able to concentrate too hard over the bugling, the Williams cheers, and of course, the 15 naked bodies jogging past them. So, just to let everybody know, we streaked the shit out of Hamilton. I know many of you were worried that we would not do Williams proud or they would not know that it was us, but rest assured, they knew that they had been streaked pretty hard last night by Williams. Hamilton had been getting a lot of press because of their NESCAC college streaking tour. They were boasting an undefeated record, but last night The Springstreakers brought home a W on the road. We really showed them what it is like to get a high concentration of people from a different school to be shocked, mildly disgusted, but highly entertained, by our nakedness.<br />
Hours driving: 6<br />
Williams students streaking: 14<br />
Williams students wearing only a giant purple sombrero: 1<br />
Williams students wearing only purple and yellow socks: 3<br />
Williams students wearing a purple and white cow suit: 1<br />
Estimated Hamilton students streaked: >200<br />
<br />
===May 2005 (cont'd):===<br />
Well, it has to be said. We once again outdid ourselves, in achieving the greatest moment of streaking history. With Springstreaker leadership, 42 WOOLF leaders pre-emptively streaked the entire JA class. If you weren't there, you missed quite the show.<br />
<br />
===October 2005:===<br />
After failing to organize a larger group of streakers on Mountain Day, three streakers managed to streak a whole crowd of Williams students atop Stony Ledge, many of whom were playing "[[Ride that Pony]]." The game of "Ride that Pony" promptly stopped.<br />
It should be noted that a serious violation of rule #2 (see above) left one toddler with a very strange expression on his face.<br />
<br />
===November 2005:===<br />
The Springstreakers brought it all back home, streaking the inspiration for their name, the [[Springstreeters]] during their fall concert. Fittingly, the Springstreakers sang as they streaked.<br />
<br />
====December 2005:====<br />
Two senior members with the help of 10 others streaked a well-dressed group of '08 WUFO members waiting to be lectured to by '06 leadership. '06s then went on to streak Springstreakers founder and captain [[Morgan Goodwin]], scoring a major victory in inter-team competition for the seniors, showing that the class of '06 can still show the youngins a few tricks.<br />
Estimated people streaked: 15 (making this one of the best ratios of streakers to streakees of all time; basically it was the mass aerial bombardment of streaking)<br />
<br />
Final Exam:<br />
Fifteen 'streakers stormed into Schow science library, bugling, shouting Happy Festivus and distributing individually wrapped study breaks. The streak was well received, a perfect end to our third semester. Remington was not in attendance, but the numbers made up for it.<br />
Estimated Streaked People: 150 <br />
<br />
''Look for "The Philosophy of Streaking: Theory and Practice" to be offered under the umbrella of [[Free University]] 2006! The course will include both lecture and lab components under the close instruction of Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Whinery, and other members of the faculty.''<br />

<br />
== 6 House Pub ==<br />
<br />
The 6 House Pub, just three minutes south on Rt 7 next to the 1896 House, is legend amongst old Williams alum for the place to be to hang out. Re-opened this past July of 2005, the 6 House offers a very simple menu of sandwiches, salads, and burgers for your dining pleasure. The burgers are just plain awesome, probably the best in town, and the wings are certainly on a level comparable to Ye Olde Forge, but much closer to town. The beer selection, while not as expansive as the Forge's, is still decent in its own respect. Perhaps the greatest trait of the 6 House is that it is close to campus and just a great place to hang out with a quaint bar area (including a big screen and 6 tvs) and very pleasant dining room with fire place and outdoor terrace with fire pit. The prices are also very fair for the amount of food you get. Try it some time, you won't be disappointed. Especially if you get the warm brownie sundae...<br />
<br />
== Antonio's Pizza ==<br />
<br />
If you're passing through Amherst to watch the Ephs defeat the dirty 'herst, do yourself a favor and stop in here for some of the BEST pizza in Western Massachusetts. They offer big portions (by the slice) and a huge and interesting variety of toppings. The spicy chicken blue cheese and the sicillian pizzas come highly reccomended. Definitely worth the drive.<br />
<br />
31 N. Pleasant St, Amherst, MA (413) 253-0808<br />
[http://www.antoniospizzas.com/ Website]<br />
<br />
== Blue Benn Diner ==<br />
<br />
Located in Bennington (Keep driving up Rt. 7 through Bennington.) You'll see an authentic, tiny diner on your left. An amazing variety of food available, from meatloaf to french fries. Not high class, but still delicious.<br />
<br />
== Chef's Hat ==<br />
<br />
Rt. 7 north, (413) 458-5120<br />
<br />
Great and Cheap Diner, with a laid back, homey atmosphere. For 10 dollars a person you can get a feast - for 5 a solid meal. I recommend their homefries, reuben, country fried steak (the gravy has sausage in it and is a meal in itself), and peach and walnut waffles. For Sunday brunch you can't beat it.<br />
<br />
== Chopsticks ==<br />
<br />
Sake sake sake BOMB!<br />
<br />
The "party room" in the back lefthand corner of Chopsticks is the scene of many sake-bombing experiences. Frosh Revue and the Men's Golf Team are frequent partakers of the messiest fun that can be had in the beaded, soundproofed area. Make sure to ask for Sharon as a waitress, who may bang the table with you, or at least bring her cute daughter out to watch.<br />
<br />
One time Bibby ordered from here and attempted to get sushi, and they weren't having it. For some reason, he kept asking the foreign phone answerer for more and more complex types of sushi, much to everyone's surprise. Finally, they agreed on some bizarre kind of sushi. Needless to say, Bibby wound up with 6 spring rolls. He called to complain, but it was OK because nobody who he was talking to spoke English. The end.<br />
<br />
== Colonial Pizza ==<br />
<br />
Constantine, the proprietor, is a minor Route 2 celebrity. This pushy flirt almost invariably concludes his phone exchanges with "OK, I take care of you" in a Greek immigrant accent. Anyway, the pizza is pretty good and not too pricey, although not many people swear by the crust. The calzones aren't bad, either. Colonial's delivers to Williams, and closes at "midnight" (11:30-midnight) on weekdays. Why do they still answer the phone when they're closed? They bring your hopes up, then crush them.<br />
<br />
The chicken parm calzone with blue cheese is real good.<br />

<br />
== Cozy Corner ==<br />
<br />
Unknown to most students, probably because it doesn't deliver, but possibly the best pizza place in Williamstown.<br />
<br />
Rt. 7 north, Williamstown, MA (413) 458-3854<br />
<br />
== Desperado's ==<br />
<br />
Located in Colonial Plaza, probably ''just'' too far to walk (though you can certainly do that if you want to). It looks kind of like a hole in the wall, but the food is good. Tex-Mex makes for a nice change from the Spring Street restaurants.<br />
<br />
Pretty standard American fast food type tex-mex fare-- Nothing too well seasoned or too savory. Just a basic alternative to wrap night.<br />
<br />
It's pretty easy to get served alcohol here, perhaps easiest at the Desperados in North Adams.<br />
<br />
If you show your driver's license, they'll give you a free dinner on your birthday.<br />
<br />
== Dunkin' Donuts ==<br />
<br />
A few minutes' walk east of campus on Rt. 2 (on the right, opposite Cumberland Farms). Best [[coffee]] in town.<br />
<br />
Does not take credit card or debit card, so bring cash.<br />
<br />
== Elizabeth's ==<br />
<br />
Simply the best dining in an hour's drive of campus. For a full four course meal -- and you'll be wanting it -- expect $30 per person (''cash or check only''), including soup, appetizer, entree, and complimentary salad and bread. Don't bother with dessert -- it is not as special as the other courses, and you won't have room (but if you do, ask for the Nun's Cheesecake. Every time I go, they're out of it).<br />
<br />
This small Italian restaurant is run out of what seems to be a small house by the side of the road in Pittsfield, about a 45 minute drive from campus. Reservations are recommended, and do not blow one off without calling them, or come significantly late, as you may be blacklisted. Show up, and the service here is unsurpassed, an absolute joy. The cook, Tom, may serve you personally, lay a meaty hand on your shoulder and chat with you, and occassionally brings Williams students free appetizers. They love us there.<br />
<br />
Everything is made fresh to order and freshly acquired that morning. No one I've eaten with has ever had one single complaint. The salad is a mix of fresh everything-you-can-imagine yet perfectly harmonious to the taste, delighting even to non-salad enthusiasts (eg, [[Jonathan_Landsman|me]]). The spicy tomato corn soup is a balance of light spice and bold tomato flavor that will astonish you with its subtle perfection -- go for the full bowl, you'll be wanting it. Hot bread is brought out constantly (though you may have to remind the cute waitress if you don't fear filling up on it) and is warm, chewy, and thick. For an appetizer, be sure to get the goat cheese "chevre-deux," though some favor the fried onion with a little salt.<br />
<br />
I won't even speak about entrees. You can't go wrong. Though this is not a vegetarian restaurant, most meals happen to be meatless, so this place is very friendly to eaters of that ilk. Be sure to listen to the specials before deciding, as there is always something to make you want to change your mind.<br />
<br />
Tips:<br />
* Lactose intolerant? Bring the Lactaid along. <br />
* 21? Go for the 22 ounce BBC Steel Rail... and try to finish it. <br />
* Freshman? Ash your JA to take your entry here on dues (pay your dues!). <br />
* Think you like cheese enough to eat the whole gorgonzola dish in one sitting? You don't. <br />
* Go on a date here. Get the Lizzy's Mushrooms appetizer. Eat it. Kiss.<br />
* They don't take credit cards. Bring cash or a check.<br />

== Gideon's ==<br />
<br />
On route 2 across from the Big Y in North Adams. Good food and a chill atmosphere. Seems like a good date place. Sorta pricy but pretty classy.<br />
<br />
== Gramercy Bistro ==<br />
<br />
A small, cozy bistro right near Mass MOCA. Excellent appetizers (especially the crab cake with a light wasabi sauce) and pretty nice desserts (the chocolate cake with raspberry hits the spot), but the entrees themselves were on the weak side. Reservations recommended. [http://www.gramercybistro.com/ Website]. Phone: (413) 663-5300.<br />
<br />
== Helen's Place ==<br />
<br />
The professors' [[Guide to Off-Campus Dining#Subway|Subway]] -- twice the quality at twice the price.<br />
<br />
In [[Jonathan_Landsman|this author's]] opinion, not really practical for students unless you are getting treated by a prof. Think yuppie. Light and interesting sandwich options that will meet a standard appetite, but you pay for it. Bidding starts at ~$7.50. Tasty, with freshest ingredients of all local sandwich shops.<br />
<br />
If Subway's not good enough, better you stop walking at [[Guide to Off-Campus Dining#Pappa Charlie's Deli|Pappa Charlie's]]. If you want that touch of class with the meal, hit up their juice bar downstairs.<br />
<br />
== Hickory Bill's Bar-B-Que ==<br />
<br />
A narrow restaurant set up like a take-out joint, Hickory Bill's is known to Williams students for providing a solid rendition of a cuisine unavailable anywhere else in the area. Bill's is good for one thing and one thing only, and that's Texas barbecue, primarily beef ribs and sides.<br />
<br />
Maybe not the place for a date, but if it's Texas ribs you want, here's where you gotta go. [[Jonathan Landsman|I]] enjoyed all parts of my meal of ribs, cornbread, and beans, but was not quite impressed by anything. Since I went only once, someone more familiar with the fare should replace these sentences with more detailed and accurate knowledge.<br />
<br />
20 Holden St North Adams, MA, 01247 (413) 663-6665<br />
<br />
== Hobson's Choice ==<br />
<br />
Located on the west side of Water Street between Latham and Meacham, Hobson's Choice offers excellent "American cuisine and seafood" for moderate prices. It features a make-your-own-salad bar, and the cozy atmosphere is highlighted by lots of those little hand-crafted puzles where you have to get a metal ring off some convoluted intertwining of other metal rings and triangles and bars. You know the sort. [[Brent Yorgey|I]] highly recommend the Cajun blackened swordfish/tuna.<br />
<br />
Not to be confused with [http://afactor.net/hcf/index.html Hobson's Choice in Williamstown, Victoria, Australia]. You may also be interested to know the [http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorh.htm#Hobson's origin of the phrase] (a "hobson's choice" is a supposed choice where there is really no choice at all; presumably, in this context the implication is that one has no choice but to eat at the restaurant, since the food is so good).<br />
<br />
159 Water Street Williamstown, MA 01267 Phone: (413) 458-9101<br />
<br />
== Hot Tomatoes ==<br />
<br />
Simply the best pizza you are likely to find anywhere in Western Massachusetts. Somewhat expensive ($20 for a large pie), no side dishes, they often don't deliver, and they close too early. However, the pizza makes it all worthwhile. The crust beats Colonial's any day. Try the pizza with pesto instead of tomato sauce, or eggplant and feta toppings.<br />
<br />
Located at the intersection of Latham St. and Water St., near the Water Street Grill. Just start walking south on Water St. at the bookstore, and the smell of fresh pizza will guide you.<br />
<br />
Of the people I know, about half prefer Colonials to Hot Tomatoes and vice versa. Hot Tomatoes has a very sweet pizza sauce which they use a good deal of. Some peole love it, I personally am not a huge fan.<br />
<br />
== Jack's Hot Dog Stand ==<br />
What a place. Located at 12 Eagle Street in North Adams, this hot dog stand is famous among locals for its chili cheese fries and 95 cent hot dogs and "hamburgs" (as they're called in North Adams). All items on the menu are cheap and delicious. Probably the best choice for lunch or dinner in North Adams, especially when you're in the mood for something greasy and delicious. Jack's can't be beat, especially because Chef Mike, the infamous carrot-topped chef, has an impeccable memory and remembers exactly what each of the regular clientele eats. The best way to go for dinner is one chili cheese dog, two double bacon "cheeseburgs", and an order of chili cheese fries.<br />
Phone: 413-664-9006. Open since 1917.<br />
They do deliver to Williamstown, but it's probably best to get your food fresh. No credit cards accepted.<br />
<br />
== Jae's Inn ==<br />
An asian fusian restaurant that is better than both Thai Garden and Chopsticks (in my opinion). Jae's Inn is also less pricey than Thai Garden...It's located just a little past Walmart on the right. Their pad thai is especially amazing if you prefer your pad thai an americanized, sugar filled glob. The sushi is divine as well. <br />
<br />
It's a little far, but definitely worth the drive! It's also an Inn (as you might guess from the name...), so it's a bit nicer, but the ambiance is still very warm and inviting, with an art collection better suited for the walmart across the street. <br />
<br />
Le Jardin is owned by the same people and is a much classier (and much pricier) option closer to home.<br />
<br />
1111 South State Street (Rt 8) North Adams, MA 01247 (413) 664-0100<br />
<br />
== Little Anthony's Pizza ==<br />
<br />
Little Anthony's, located in North Adams, is an establisment relatively unknown among Williams students that is becoming well-regarded for its thick, tasty pizza. The Anthony Deluxe is a winner, they deliver to Williams, and they're open till one. What's not to like? Well, for one, they have a $15 minimum order for deliveries. Usually a pizza and a big bottle of soda will get you there. Also, they stop delivering to Williamstown at 11:30 on weeknights.<br />
<br />

== McDonald's ==<br />
<br />
Located a block past the overpass on Rte. 2, the North Adams McDonald's is almost always visited by Williams students between the hours of 1:30 and 5 a.m., the time when it's the only hot food in town. Caveat esor.<br />
<br />
==Mezze Bar and Bistro==<br />
<br />
Located a couple of stores before Water Street Books. The fancy restaurant you get your parents to take you to when they're in town. Nice [http://www.mezzerestaurant.com/ website], too.<br />
<br />
16 Water Street<br />
Williamstown, Ma 01267<br />
(413) 458-0123<br />
<br />
== Michael's ==<br />
<br />
Lovely Greek/Italian restaurant located a few minutes' walk east of campus on Rt. 2 (on the left before you get to Cumberland Farms). Solid entrees, priced between $10 and $14. Friendly service. Free garlic bread and soup or salad with any entree, which makes it a good value. Order a carafe of retsina and try the Greek desserts - the baklava and the galaktobouriko are to die for. Note that the hours can be a bit iffy...do a quick drive-by first to see if they're open, but if they are, definitely go in.<br />
<br />
== The Mill on the Floss ==<br />
<br />
Comments needed.<br />
<br />
== Moonlight Diner ==<br />
<br />
East of campus on Route 2, on your left after a few minute's drive. What can I say; it's a diner! Solid but unremarkable food, really exactly what you'd expect. Good, but ten times better if it were at the foot of Spring Street.<br />
<br />
The Pot of Gold, two half potatoes stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese, and meat, is recommended for breakfast.<br />
<br />
== Pappa Charlie's Deli ==<br />
<br />
Tastier than Subway, but also slightly more expensive. Mad crowded at lunch, and whenever any parents are in town. They make all sorts of sandwiches named after celebrities. Their gyros are surprisingly weak. Don't forget about the tasty juice/smoothie bar in the basement!<br />
<br />
Try the Richard Chamberlain for the delicious turkey/cranberry sauce you've always known belonged together on a sandwich.<br />
<br />
The cashier, though, has a terrible attitude. She's been known to rush you through your order and snap at customers who don't know what they want. Not the most charming presence you want as the public image of your deli.<br />
<br />
== Purple Pub ==<br />
<br />
A friendly and unpretentious pub located behind Subway. Make friends with the staff, and you will get great service. Don't go there to act like a drunken jackass - Williams students have a bad reputation at this place and other bars or pubs in town. [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07rb This author's] favorite place to grab a leisurely Sunday lunch. Burgers and wings are cheaper than at the Red Herring or the Water Street Grill. A hearty meal of a burger and fries with a good cold draught beer (try the local Berkshire Brewing Company beers on tap) can be had for less than $10 - beats Subway "sandwiches" or dining hall "brunch" on those lazy weekend afternoons.<br />
<br />

[[http://www.thepurplepub.com/ Link to Website]]<br />
<br />
== Rattlesnake Cafe ==<br />
<br />
Large portions of food and well worth the trip. To get there, take Rt. 7 most of the way through Bennington. It will be hidden back a ways on your left, and very brightly colored.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a swankier Mexican restuarant, try Cafe Latino at Mass Moca<br />
<br />
== Red Herring ==<br />
<br />
Located on Spring Street, below Images Cinema (turn left and go downstairs before entering the cinema). Good beers on tap and a few hearty entrees and snacks. Decent wings, and probably the best place in town for burgers. Best to avoid on Friday and Saturday nights when you will be lucky if the bartender even acknowledges your existence in the crowd.<br />
<br />
== Subway ==<br />
<br />
Semi-delicious, cheapest sandwiches in town. Ask about the discounted sandwich of the day. You will have eaten at one of these before. Ask for the special spicy sauce (it's red in colour - I don't remember its name but it's awesome). Ask for extra napkins if you get the sweet onion teriyaki sub because that sauce just goes everywhere. Closes too early though.<br />
<br />
Avoid the meatball sub. Eat the Italian BMT.<br />
<br />
== Spice Root ==<br />
<br />
Spice Root is a mid sized restaraunt on Spring Street that serves Indian food. The food is as close to authentic Indian that you'll find within a pretty good radius, and tastes quite good. Modestly priced student meals are available ($10 for a sit in meal and $5 for a take away of small proportions) The Naan bread is good, as is the tandoori chicken. The chole (pronounced chho-lay) served with a student meal is excellent.<br />
<br />
Not for the hard-core Indian food fans who might be offended by the mixture of North Indian and South Indian cuisines, but definitely worth a try. Check out the buffet lunch for $7 -- an excellent deal any day!<br />
<br />
23 Spring St, Williamstown, MA<br />
(413) 458-5200<br />
<br />
== Sushi Thai Garden ==<br />
<br />
Yummy Thai food, reasonably priced, decent portions and conveniently located on Spring Street. What's not to like? A mainstay in Williamstown dining; you won't graduate without having a meal here. The servers, who seem actively hostile to students, do detract from the experience. Possibly the worst service of any place in town after the Red Herring.<br />
<br />
Thai tips: If you have never eaten Thai food before, the Pad Thai is a good thing to order. Except that it's not really that much like real pad thai, it's too sweet and the noodles are very chewy. Also, Thai iced tea rocks. For dessert, the Thai custard is delightful. Try going at lunch, when the portions and quality are as good, but discounted about 25% over dinner prices!<br />
<br />
Thai iced coffee is even better than Thai iced tea.<br />
<br />
Try the Thai Red Curry: It's unbelievably good.<br />
<br />
They also have sushi now!<br />
<br />
27 Spring Street, Williamstown, MA (413) 458-0004<br />
<br />
== Water Street Grill ==<br />
<br />
[[Jonathan_Landsman|This author's]] favorite in-town restaurant. A pub-restaurant with solid fare at reasonable prices. A [[Guide to Off-Campus Dining#Ye_Olde_Forge|Forge]] alternative if you are short on time, or haven't made a Forge reservation on their busy night: the Forge is better in most ways, but the Grill has better entrees.<br />
<br />
Prices average $12 for a full entree, or $7 - $10 for anything on the lunch-geared "pub menu." The burger platter, at a reasonable ~$7 with all toppings included, is a favorite for a cheap quick meal for some. Other meals in between. True to expectations for this kind of restaurant, portions are hearty.<br />
<br />
The chicken pesto over penne, my favorite, and the sizzling platter of fajitas come highly recommended. The potato skins and other appetizers are solid. On the whole, this place seems to satisfy with something for everyone.<br />
<br />
Major weakness is probably the service, which has been consistently slow, and has provided some less than clean glassware at times.<br />
<br />
Actually, I disagree. The Water Street Grill is an abysmal place. Service is slow. Moreover, even when the Grill is slow, they are also getting your orders wrong. Food is bland, depressing, and most times cold. My friends and I have vowed never to return and to spread the word.<br />
<br />
== Williams Inn ==<br />
<br />
The Sunday brunch is not to be missed. Beg, borrow, or steal your way to one of those meals. For the more, but not absolutely, ethically endowed, keep an eye on speakers coming to campus sponsored by departments and special-interest clubs. Many clubs take a speaker who stays overnight out to the brunch the next day, and students are invited to come on Uncle Eph's tab. Frequently, there are even more seats than demand!<br />
<br />
== Ye Olde Forge ==<br />
<br />
A restaurant/tavern on Rt. 7 about 20 minutes from campus (14 if Z-Mac is driving). The wings alone are reason enough to make the trip. Also famous for its wide selection of beers and the Beer Card; sample 50 different beers within a year and you'll get an engraved pewter stein (although it may take up to 9 months before you see it as was the case for the Shokstar).<br />
<br />
Don't forget to have a designated driver!<br />
This is a classic getaway, especially for upperclassmen, but over the years it has become increasingly popular among the Williams community. A perfect night at the Forge involves several of their quality beers on tap (they normally have about 15 on tap at any time in addition to almost 300 more bottled varieties available), a cup of chili with cheese and top it off with some Dean's Original wings (the buffalo style). Contrary to popular belief, the Forge also does food other than wings, some of which is also very tasty. Try the foccaccias.<br />
<br />
On the poster above the urinal in the male bathroom you may witness ongoing communication between two 05's (Shokstar and Z-mac) who loved the place more than anything else and still return there every other weekend despite having graduated and living several hours away.<br />
<br />
The butternut squash quesadillas are really good. <strike>But not as good as the Deans, which are great.</strike> It's all about the Buff Orpingtons, baby -- sweet and gooey and a Forge exclusive.<br />

<div>Where's there to eat around here? Here are some restaurants that are nearby, cheap, or good. See also [[Coffee]]<br />
<br />
== 6 House Pub ==<br />
<br />
The 6 House Pub, just three minutes south on Rt 7 next to the 1896 House, is legend amongst old Williams alum for the place to be to hang out. Re-opened this past July of 2005, the 6 House offers a very simple menu of sandwiches, salads, and burgers for your dining pleasure. The burgers are just plain awesome, probably the best in town, and the wings are certainly on a level comparable to Ye Olde Forge, but much closer to town. The beer selection, while not as expansive as the Forge's, is still decent in its own respect. Perhaps the greatest trait of the 6 House is that it is close to campus and just a great place to hang out with a quaint bar area (including a big screen and 6 tvs) and very pleasant dining room with fire place and outdoor terrace with fire pit. The prices are also very fair for the amount of food you get. Try it some time, you won't be disappointed. Especially if you get the warm brownie sundae...<br />
<br />
== Antonio's Pizza ==<br />
<br />
If you're passing through Amherst to watch the Ephs defeat the dirty 'herst, do yourself a favor and stop in here for some of the BEST pizza in Western Massachusetts. They offer big portions (by the slice) and a huge and interesting variety of toppings. The spicy chicken blue cheese and the sicillian pizzas come highly reccomended. Definitely worth the drive.<br />
<br />
31 N. Pleasant St, Amherst, MA (413) 253-0808<br />
[http://www.antoniospizzas.com/ Website]<br />
<br />
== Blue Benn Diner ==<br />
<br />
Located in Bennington (Keep driving up Rt. 7 through Bennington.) You'll see an authentic, tiny diner on your left. An amazing variety of food available, from meatloaf to french fries. Not high class, but still delicious.<br />
<br />
== Chef's Hat ==<br />
<br />
Rt. 7 north, (413) 458-5120<br />
<br />
Great and Cheap Diner, with a laid back, homey atmosphere. For 10 dollars a person you can get a feast - for 5 a solid meal. I recommend their homefries, reuben, country fried steak (the gravy has sausage in it and is a meal in itself), and peach and walnut waffles. For Sunday brunch you can't beat it.<br />
<br />
== Chopsticks ==<br />
<br />
Sake sake sake BOMB!<br />
<br />
The "party room" in the back lefthand corner of Chopsticks is the scene of many sake-bombing experiences. Frosh Revue and the Men's Golf Team are frequent partakers of the messiest fun that can be had in the beaded, soundproofed area. Make sure to ask for Sharon as a waitress, who may bang the table with you, or at least bring her cute daughter out to watch.<br />
<br />
One time Bibby ordered from here and attempted to get sushi, and they weren't having it. For some reason, he kept asking the foreign phone answerer for more and more complex types of sushi, much to everyone's surprise. Finally, they agreed on some bizarre kind of sushi. Needless to say, Bibby wound up with 6 spring rolls. He called to complain, but it was OK because nobody who he was talking to spoke English. The end.<br />
<br />
== Colonial Pizza ==<br />
<br />
Constantine, the proprietor, is a minor Route 2 celebrity. This pushy flirt almost invariably concludes his phone exchanges with "OK, I take care of you" in a Greek immigrant accent. Anyway, the pizza is pretty good and not too pricey, although not many people swear by the crust. The calzones aren't bad, either. Colonial's delivers to Williams, and closes at "midnight" (11:30-midnight) on weekdays. Why do they still answer the phone when they're closed? They bring your hopes up, then crush them.<br />
<br />
The chicken parm calzone with blue cheese is real good.<br />
<br />

Phone: (413) 458-9009<br />
<br />
== Cozy Corner ==<br />
<br />
Unknown to most students, probably because it doesn't deliver, but possibly the best pizza place in Williamstown.<br />
<br />
Rt. 7 north, Williamstown, MA (413) 458-3854<br />
<br />
== Desperado's ==<br />
<br />
Located in Colonial Plaza, probably ''just'' too far to walk (though you can certainly do that if you want to). It looks kind of like a hole in the wall, but the food is good. Tex-Mex makes for a nice change from the Spring Street restaurants.<br />
<br />
Pretty standard American fast food type tex-mex fare-- Nothing too well seasoned or too savory. Just a basic alternative to wrap night.<br />
<br />
It's pretty easy to get served alcohol here, perhaps easiest at the Desperados in North Adams.<br />
<br />
If you show your driver's license, they'll give you a free dinner on your birthday.<br />
<br />
== Dunkin' Donuts ==<br />
<br />
A few minutes' walk east of campus on Rt. 2 (on the right, opposite Cumberland Farms). Best [[coffee]] in town.<br />
<br />
Does not take credit card or debit card, so bring cash.<br />
<br />
== Elizabeth's ==<br />
<br />
Simply the best dining in an hour's drive of campus. For a full four course meal -- and you'll be wanting it -- expect $30 per person (''cash or check only''), including soup, appetizer, entree, and complimentary salad and bread. Don't bother with dessert -- it is not as special as the other courses, and you won't have room (but if you do, ask for the Nun's Cheesecake. Every time I go, they're out of it).<br />
<br />
This small Italian restaurant is run out of what seems to be a small house by the side of the road in Pittsfield, about a 45 minute drive from campus. Reservations are recommended, and do not blow one off without calling them, or come significantly late, as you may be blacklisted. Show up, and the service here is unsurpassed, an absolute joy. The cook, Tom, may serve you personally, lay a meaty hand on your shoulder and chat with you, and occassionally brings Williams students free appetizers. They love us there.<br />
<br />
Everything is made fresh to order and freshly acquired that morning. No one I've eaten with has ever had one single complaint. The salad is a mix of fresh everything-you-can-imagine yet perfectly harmonious to the taste, delighting even to non-salad enthusiasts (eg, [[Jonathan_Landsman|me]]). The spicy tomato corn soup is a balance of light spice and bold tomato flavor that will astonish you with its subtle perfection -- go for the full bowl, you'll be wanting it. Hot bread is brought out constantly (though you may have to remind the cute waitress if you don't fear filling up on it) and is warm, chewy, and thick. For an appetizer, be sure to get the goat cheese "chevre-deux," though some favor the fried onion with a little salt.<br />
<br />
I won't even speak about entrees. You can't go wrong. Though this is not a vegetarian restaurant, most meals happen to be meatless, so this place is very friendly to eaters of that ilk. Be sure to listen to the specials before deciding, as there is always something to make you want to change your mind.<br />
<br />
Tips:<br />
* Lactose intolerant? Bring the Lactaid along. <br />
* 21? Go for the 22 ounce BBC Steel Rail... and try to finish it. <br />
* Freshman? Ash your JA to take your entry here on dues (pay your dues!). <br />
* Think you like cheese enough to eat the whole gorgonzola dish in one sitting? You don't. <br />
* Go on a date here. Get the Lizzy's Mushrooms appetizer. Eat it. Kiss.<br />
* They don't take credit cards. Bring cash or a check.<br />

<br />
== Gideon's ==<br />
<br />
On route 2 across from the Big Y in North Adams. Good food and a chill atmosphere. Seems like a good date place. Sorta pricy but pretty classy.<br />
<br />
== Gramercy Bistro ==<br />
<br />
A small, cozy bistro right near Mass MOCA. Excellent appetizers (especially the crab cake with a light wasabi sauce) and pretty nice desserts (the chocolate cake with raspberry hits the spot), but the entrees themselves were on the weak side. Reservations recommended. [http://www.gramercybistro.com/ Website]. Phone: (413) 663-5300.<br />
<br />
== Helen's Place ==<br />
<br />
The professors' [[Guide to Off-Campus Dining#Subway|Subway]] -- twice the quality at twice the price.<br />
<br />
In [[Jonathan_Landsman|this author's]] opinion, not really practical for students unless you are getting treated by a prof. Think yuppie. Light and interesting sandwich options that will meet a standard appetite, but you pay for it. Bidding starts at ~$7.50. Tasty, with freshest ingredients of all local sandwich shops.<br />
<br />
If Subway's not good enough, better you stop walking at [[Guide to Off-Campus Dining#Pappa Charlie's Deli|Pappa Charlie's]]. If you want that touch of class with the meal, hit up their juice bar downstairs.<br />
<br />
== Hickory Bill's Bar-B-Que ==<br />
<br />
A narrow restaurant set up like a take-out joint, Hickory Bill's is known to Williams students for providing a solid rendition of a cuisine unavailable anywhere else in the area. Bill's is good for one thing and one thing only, and that's Texas barbecue, primarily beef ribs and sides.<br />
<br />
Maybe not the place for a date, but if it's Texas ribs you want, here's where you gotta go. [[Jonathan Landsman|I]] enjoyed all parts of my meal of ribs, cornbread, and beans, but was not quite impressed by anything. Since I went only once, someone more familiar with the fare should replace these sentences with more detailed and accurate knowledge.<br />
<br />
20 Holden St North Adams, MA, 01247 (413) 663-6665<br />
<br />
== Hobson's Choice ==<br />
<br />
Located on the west side of Water Street between Latham and Meacham, Hobson's Choice offers excellent "American cuisine and seafood" for moderate prices. It features a make-your-own-salad bar, and the cozy atmosphere is highlighted by lots of those little hand-crafted puzles where you have to get a metal ring off some convoluted intertwining of other metal rings and triangles and bars. You know the sort. [[Brent Yorgey|I]] highly recommend the Cajun blackened swordfish/tuna.<br />
<br />
Not to be confused with [http://afactor.net/hcf/index.html Hobson's Choice in Williamstown, Victoria, Australia]. You may also be interested to know the [http://www.wordorigins.org/wordorh.htm#Hobson's origin of the phrase] (a "hobson's choice" is a supposed choice where there is really no choice at all; presumably, in this context the implication is that one has no choice but to eat at the restaurant, since the food is so good).<br />
<br />
159 Water Street Williamstown, MA 01267 Phone: (413) 458-9101<br />
<br />
== Hot Tomatoes ==<br />
<br />
Simply the best pizza you are likely to find anywhere in Western Massachusetts. Somewhat expensive ($20 for a large pie), no side dishes, they often don't deliver, and they close too early. However, the pizza makes it all worthwhile. The crust beats Colonial's any day. Try the pizza with pesto instead of tomato sauce, or eggplant and feta toppings.<br />
<br />
Located at the intersection of Latham St. and Water St., near the Water Street Grill. Just start walking south on Water St. at the bookstore, and the smell of fresh pizza will guide you.<br />
<br />
Of the people I know, about half prefer Colonials to Hot Tomatoes and vice versa. Hot Tomatoes has a very sweet pizza sauce which they use a good deal of. Some peole love it, I personally am not a huge fan.<br />
<br />
== Jack's Hot Dog Stand ==<br />
What a place. Located at 12 Eagle Street in North Adams, this hot dog stand is famous among locals for its chili cheese fries and 95 cent hot dogs and "hamburgs" (as they're called in North Adams). All items on the menu are cheap and delicious. Probably the best choice for lunch or dinner in North Adams, especially when you're in the mood for something greasy and delicious. Jack's can't be beat, especially because Chef Mike, the infamous carrot-topped chef, has an impeccable memory and remembers exactly what each of the regular clientele eats. The best way to go for dinner is one chili cheese dog, two double bacon "cheeseburgs", and an order of chili cheese fries.<br />
Phone: 413-664-9006. Open since 1917.<br />
They do deliver to Williamstown, but it's probably best to get your food fresh. No credit cards accepted.<br />
<br />
== Jae's Inn ==<br />
An asian fusian restaurant that is better than both Thai Garden and Chopsticks (in my opinion). Jae's Inn is also less pricey than Thai Garden...It's located just a little past Walmart on the right. Their pad thai is especially amazing if you prefer your pad thai an americanized, sugar filled glob. The sushi is divine as well. <br />
<br />
It's a little far, but definitely worth the drive! It's also an Inn (as you might guess from the name...), so it's a bit nicer, but the ambiance is still very warm and inviting, with an art collection better suited for the walmart across the street. <br />
<br />
Le Jardin is owned by the same people and is a much classier (and much pricier) option closer to home.<br />
<br />
1111 South State Street (Rt 8) North Adams, MA 01247 (413) 664-0100<br />
<br />
== Little Anthony's Pizza ==<br />
<br />
Little Anthony's, located in North Adams, is an establisment relatively unknown among Williams students that is becoming well-regarded for its thick, tasty pizza. The Anthony Deluxe is a winner, they deliver to Williams, and they're open till one. What's not to like? Well, for one, they have a $15 minimum order for deliveries. Usually a pizza and a big bottle of soda will get you there. Also, they stop delivering to Williamstown at 11:30 on weeknights.<br />
<br />
1 River St<br />
North Adams, MA 01247-2404<br />
Phone: (413) 662-3600<br />
<br />
== McDonald's ==<br />
<br />
Located a block past the overpass on Rte. 2, the North Adams McDonald's is almost always visited by Williams students between the hours of 1:30 and 5 a.m., the time when it's the only hot food in town. Caveat esor.<br />
<br />
==Mezze Bar and Bistro==<br />
<br />
Located a couple of stores before Water Street Books. The fancy restaurant you get your parents to take you to when they're in town. Nice [http://www.mezzerestaurant.com/ website], too.<br />
<br />
16 Water Street<br />
Williamstown, Ma 01267<br />
(413) 458-0123<br />
<br />
== Michael's ==<br />
<br />
Lovely Greek/Italian restaurant located a few minutes' walk east of campus on Rt. 2 (on the left before you get to Cumberland Farms). Solid entrees, priced between $10 and $14. Friendly service. Free garlic bread and soup or salad with any entree, which makes it a good value. Order a carafe of retsina and try the Greek desserts - the baklava and the galaktobouriko are to die for. Note that the hours can be a bit iffy...do a quick drive-by first to see if they're open, but if they are, definitely go in.<br />
<br />
== The Mill on the Floss ==<br />
<br />
Comments needed.<br />
<br />
== Moonlight Diner ==<br />
<br />
East of campus on Route 2, on your left after a few minute's drive. What can I say; it's a diner! Solid but unremarkable food, really exactly what you'd expect. Good, but ten times better if it were at the foot of Spring Street.<br />
<br />
The Pot of Gold, two half potatoes stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese, and meat, is recommended for breakfast.<br />
<br />
== Pappa Charlie's Deli ==<br />
<br />
Tastier than Subway, but also slightly more expensive. Mad crowded at lunch, and whenever any parents are in town. They make all sorts of sandwiches named after celebrities. Their gyros are surprisingly weak. Don't forget about the tasty juice/smoothie bar in the basement!<br />
<br />
Try the Richard Chamberlain for the delicious turkey/cranberry sauce you've always known belonged together on a sandwich.<br />
<br />
The cashier, though, has a terrible attitude. She's been known to rush you through your order and snap at customers who don't know what they want. Not the most charming presence you want as the public image of your deli.<br />
<br />
== Purple Pub ==<br />
<br />
A friendly and unpretentious pub located behind Subway. Make friends with the staff, and you will get great service. Don't go there to act like a drunken jackass - Williams students have a bad reputation at this place and other bars or pubs in town. [http://wso.williams.edu/facebook/view?unix=07rb This author's] favorite place to grab a leisurely Sunday lunch. Burgers and wings are cheaper than at the Red Herring or the Water Street Grill. A hearty meal of a burger and fries with a good cold draught beer (try the local Berkshire Brewing Company beers on tap) can be had for less than $10 - beats Subway "sandwiches" or dining hall "brunch" on those lazy weekend afternoons.<br />
<br />
8 Bank Street, Williamstown MA 01247 Tel: (413) 458-3306 Fax: (413) 458-2586<br />
[[http://www.thepurplepub.com/ Link to Website]]<br />
<br />
== Rattlesnake Cafe ==<br />
<br />
Large portions of food and well worth the trip. To get there, take Rt. 7 most of the way through Bennington. It will be hidden back a ways on your left, and very brightly colored.<br />
<br />
If you're looking for a swankier Mexican restuarant, try Cafe Latino at Mass Moca<br />
<br />
== Red Herring ==<br />
<br />
Located on Spring Street, below Images Cinema (turn left and go downstairs before entering the cinema). Good beers on tap and a few hearty entrees and snacks. Decent wings, and probably the best place in town for burgers. Best to avoid on Friday and Saturday nights when you will be lucky if the bartender even acknowledges your existence in the crowd.<br />
<br />
== Subway ==<br />
<br />
Semi-delicious, cheapest sandwiches in town. Ask about the discounted sandwich of the day. You will have eaten at one of these before. Ask for the special spicy sauce (it's red in colour - I don't remember its name but it's awesome). Ask for extra napkins if you get the sweet onion teriyaki sub because that sauce just goes everywhere. Closes too early though.<br />
<br />
Avoid the meatball sub. Eat the Italian BMT.<br />
<br />
== Spice Root ==<br />
<br />
Spice Root is a mid sized restaraunt on Spring Street that serves Indian food. The food is as close to authentic Indian that you'll find within a pretty good radius, and tastes quite good. Modestly priced student meals are available ($10 for a sit in meal and $5 for a take away of small proportions) The Naan bread is good, as is the tandoori chicken. The chole (pronounced chho-lay) served with a student meal is excellent.<br />
<br />
Not for the hard-core Indian food fans who might be offended by the mixture of North Indian and South Indian cuisines, but definitely worth a try. Check out the buffet lunch for $7 -- an excellent deal any day!<br />
<br />
23 Spring St, Williamstown, MA<br />
(413) 458-5200<br />
<br />
== Sushi Thai Garden ==<br />
<br />
Yummy Thai food, reasonably priced, decent portions and conveniently located on Spring Street. What's not to like? A mainstay in Williamstown dining; you won't graduate without having a meal here. The servers, who seem actively hostile to students, do detract from the experience. Possibly the worst service of any place in town after the Red Herring.<br />
<br />
Thai tips: If you have never eaten Thai food before, the Pad Thai is a good thing to order. Except that it's not really that much like real pad thai, it's too sweet and the noodles are very chewy. Also, Thai iced tea rocks. For dessert, the Thai custard is delightful. Try going at lunch, when the portions and quality are as good, but discounted about 25% over dinner prices!<br />
<br />
Thai iced coffee is even better than Thai iced tea.<br />
<br />
Try the Thai Red Curry: It's unbelievably good.<br />
<br />
They also have sushi now!<br />
<br />
27 Spring Street, Williamstown, MA (413) 458-0004<br />
<br />
== Water Street Grill ==<br />
<br />
[[Jonathan_Landsman|This author's]] favorite in-town restaurant. A pub-restaurant with solid fare at reasonable prices. A [[Guide to Off-Campus Dining#Ye_Olde_Forge|Forge]] alternative if you are short on time, or haven't made a Forge reservation on their busy night: the Forge is better in most ways, but the Grill has better entrees.<br />
<br />
Prices average $12 for a full entree, or $7 - $10 for anything on the lunch-geared "pub menu." The burger platter, at a reasonable ~$7 with all toppings included, is a favorite for a cheap quick meal for some. Other meals in between. True to expectations for this kind of restaurant, portions are hearty.<br />
<br />
The chicken pesto over penne, my favorite, and the sizzling platter of fajitas come highly recommended. The potato skins and other appetizers are solid. On the whole, this place seems to satisfy with something for everyone.<br />
<br />
Major weakness is probably the service, which has been consistently slow, and has provided some less than clean glassware at times.<br />
<br />
Actually, I disagree. The Water Street Grill is an abysmal place. Service is slow. Moreover, even when the Grill is slow, they are also getting your orders wrong. Food is bland, depressing, and most times cold. My friends and I have vowed never to return and to spread the word.<br />
<br />
== Williams Inn ==<br />
<br />
The Sunday brunch is not to be missed. Beg, borrow, or steal your way to one of those meals. For the more, but not absolutely, ethically endowed, keep an eye on speakers coming to campus sponsored by departments and special-interest clubs. Many clubs take a speaker who stays overnight out to the brunch the next day, and students are invited to come on Uncle Eph's tab. Frequently, there are even more seats than demand!<br />
<br />
== Ye Olde Forge ==<br />
<br />
A restaurant/tavern on Rt. 7 about 20 minutes from campus (14 if Z-Mac is driving). The wings alone are reason enough to make the trip. Also famous for its wide selection of beers and the Beer Card; sample 50 different beers within a year and you'll get an engraved pewter stein (although it may take up to 9 months before you see it as was the case for the Shokstar).<br />
<br />
Don't forget to have a designated driver!<br />
This is a classic getaway, especially for upperclassmen, but over the years it has become increasingly popular among the Williams community. A perfect night at the Forge involves several of their quality beers on tap (they normally have about 15 on tap at any time in addition to almost 300 more bottled varieties available), a cup of chili with cheese and top it off with some Dean's Original wings (the buffalo style). Contrary to popular belief, the Forge also does food other than wings, which is also very tasty.<br />
<br />
On the poster above the urinal in the male bathroom you may witness ongoing communication between two 05's (Shokstar and Z-mac) who loved the place more than anything else and still return there every other weekend despite having graduated and living several hours away.<br />
<br />
The butternut squash quesadillas are really good. <strike>But not as good as the Deans, which are great.</strike> It's all about the Buff Orpingtons, baby -- sweet and gooey and a Forge exclusive.<br />

<hr />
<div>==About Mills==<br />
Mills house is the one in [[Mission]] immediately to the right of the front entrance. It's also the one with the [[dining hall]] outside the window (on the front) and the loading dock outside the window (on the back). It has several desirable qualities.<br />
<br />
===The Loading Dock===<br />
Mills has the distinction of being above the dining hall and kitchens for Mission. Thus it is also above the loading dock. The trash truck comes between 5:00 and 5:30 AM on an average weekday morning, and delivery trucks seem to come from around 6:30 AM onwards. If you're an early person this is not so much of an issue, but for our later-rising friends, it could be. Closing the window cuts down on the noise dramatically, but if you want the fresh air you're going to get the noise too.<br />
<br />
===The Leak===<br />
The second-floor landing in the stairway on the [[Pratt]] end of Mills has the distinction of being at the same level of the lobby roof. When it rains enough, a nice puddle develops on one half of the landing.<br />
<br />
==Mills 1==<br />
==Mills 2==<br />
<br />
Mills 2 houses the mysterious Mechanical room and the door out onto the roof of the lobby and the dining hall.<br />
<br />
Mills 2 from 05-06 houses the infamous male underwear model from Turkey, Toygun Atlantis. If you bring him a goat he will show it love and then slay it. Such is the way of the Toyges.<br />
<br />
Mills 2 from 05-06 also happens to house Martin 'Maaaahtin' Sawyer. He is good at math, english and geometry. He is also known for being VERY smooth around ladies.<br />
<br />
Mills 2 also houses Kit Fuderich, also known as 'kittles', 'mittens' or as would be expressed in Turkish 'retarded'. He is known for his 'swiss parties' in the elevator at the dining hall and also his amazing talent in glassblowing.<br />
<br />
==Mills 3==<br />
<br />
Mills 3 is one of the finest places to live on campus. Quiet enough to study, yet close enough to party, this house defies a singular definition.<br />
<br />
==Mills 4==<br />
===Mills 402===<br />
Mills 402 is one of the rooms in [[Mission]] that has more than its fair share of right angles. Since it shares an alcove near the stairway with [[Mills 401]], its door is set perpendicular to its side walls. (See the [http://wso.williams.edu/plans/floor?id=57 floor plan]) Most other rooms in [[Mission]] have doors parallel to this wall, and an angled wall in place of a right-angle corner. The benefit of having the 402-style door is that there is a portion of the room which is not visible to persons looking in the door from the hall. This allows the occupant to hide and surprise.<br />
<br />
The view from Mills 402 is pretty good. While a large oak obscures [[The Dome]] from view, [[Pine Cobble]] is quite visible.

<div>Though few current students may remember when [[Greylock Dining Hall]] started their midday deli tradition, it set in motion a lunch revolution that would sweep through the campus [[dining hall|dining halls]], giving rise to the short but very popular run of [[Baxter North Dining Hall]] and culminating in today's [[Driscoll]] lunches, to some the defining lunch experience. [[Bob Volpi]] has brought [[Driscoll]] a long way from its [[Dirty D]] days.<br />
<br />
Do you snub the speed of [[Grab 'n' Go]] because a good lunch just can't be rushed, even if it means being late to lab? Do you think the panini sandwich presses were an even better buy than the [[Schow chair|Schow chairs]]? This page is for you and for all dining hall sandwich connoisseurs. Here we celebrate dining hall sandwiches, including those found on the service line, but most especially this page is for those sandwiches dreamed up by the students who enjoy them.<br />

<br />
''It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure between two (or more) slices of bread!'' Give the recipe for your masterpiece creations here, and note if it can only be made in certain dining halls. Be sure to give it a name!<br />
<br />
'''Cassanova:''' A couple slices of turkey, some goat cheese, a little cranberry sauce, onion and a slice or two of fresh tomato in a potato onion roll sporead with some Thousand Island, paninied to browned goodness. Greylock lunch only.<br />
<br />
==Great Dining Services Sandwiches==<br />

Sandwich lovers give props below to [[Dining Services]] successes in going the extra mile at lunch.<br />
<br />
''But to do this right, you'd have to take notes on Driscoll. Which is weird.''<br>-- Allison Smith '07<br />
<br />
'''Aunt Vicky's Beef Brisket:''' Making its first appearances at [[Driscoll]] in [[Fall 2004]] (avilable there only?), this is a hot roast beef melt distinguished by the fried onions topping that you can only get on a dining services hot line. Served on a roll, and guaranteed to put you to sleep in your 1:10 lecture.<br />
<br />
'''The Rachel:''' Served only at Dodd? This gooey sandwich was often served as an alternative to its inspiration and close cousin, the Reuben. Though [[Jonathan Landsman|I]] am sure I saw and ate this sandwich, I can't find anyone who remembers the ingredients. I think it was a vegetarian alternative to the Reuben; can anyone clarify? Has it been discontinued?<br />
<br />
'''Egg McWilliams:''' A fried egg, a sausage patty, a slice of white American cheese and no regrets make this fairly greasy Williams classic, served on an English muffin as a [[Snack Bar]] mainstay and as an occassional treat at brunch, where they let you build your own.<br />
<br />
'''Tuna melt:''' Grilled and greasy at the Snacky B.<br />
<br />
'''Grilled cheese and tomato''' The humble workhorse of the snack bar, where this favorite for the late study snack flies off the grill. The tomato is 30¢ extra over a plain grilled cheese, but ''so'' worth it. One of the semesterly [[Late Night Snacks]] hosted by dining services near [[finals]] time is based around this sandwich.<br />
<br />
'''Scary ass hot dogs:''' Don't even think about it.<br />
<br />
'''THE PUB BURGER:''' Prostrate yourself before the mighty Pub Burger. This colossus comes with steak fries and a set of fixins, some of which are never served with any other dish. Choose from sauteed onion, peppers, and mushrooms, bacon, and cheese sauce, in addition to anything else you can pile.</div>Jlandsmahttps://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Sandwiches&diff=7404Sandwiches2006-02-17T03:49:42Z<p>Jlandsma: redid preface</p>
