Where's there to eat around here? Don't want to eat at the [[dining hall]]? Here are some restaurants that are nearby, cheap, or good.
== Colonial Pizza ==
[[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 solidly mediocre to downright terrible but not too pricey, although not many people swear by the crustthough it's better than Domino's. The calzones aren't bad, either. Colonial's delivers to Williams, and closes at 1am on weekdays and 2am on the weekend. Why do they still answer the phone when they're closed? They bring your hopes up, then crush them. Possibly the best late night drunk food in town. Beware the famous Colonial Hangover.
The chicken parm calzone with blue cheese is real good.
Located at the intersection of Latham St. and Water St., near the [[#Water Street Grill|Water Street Grill]]. Just start walking south on Water St. at the bookstore, and the smell of fresh pizza will guide you.
I agree with the third comment. As a native New Yorker, this pizza has never cut it for me.
100 Water St., Route 43
== Lickety Split ==
Lickety Split is great for ice creamback, at the bottom of course, but also serves a nice quiche and salad lunch (among other things) during the academic year. The BLTs are to die for, and the simple grilled cheese is cheaper and just as good as pappa charlies. Lickety Split also has the worst service EVER. Expect to be rushed and to be treated rudely. Speak in extremely simple and explicit language when ordering,or the ice-cream girl will roll her eyes at you when she gets your order wrong. 69 Spring Street Williamstown, MA 413.458.1818St
== Little Anthony's Pizza ==
Don't forget to have a designated driver!
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. If you don't order wings make sure you get a side of Deans sauce to dip in.
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.
The butternut squash quesadillas are really good. <strike>But not as good as the Deans, which are greatthe best ever.</strike> It's all about the Buff Orpingtons, baby -- sweet and gooey and a Forge exclusive.
Williams College connection: The Forge is run by a former Faculty House chef. The weekends produce an absolute mad house ... find a good weekday night to dine.
