In between the bustle of meetings and classes, it’s hard to find time to return to the dorms and cook a hearty meal. Just around the corner from New York University is a Fresh&Co location, with plentiful options ranging from salads, to a hot bar, to affordable sandwiches for students.
“The chicken was well seasoned and the peppers were flavorful, though it all overpowered the avocado,” Nick Messina, a business student at Stevens Institute of Technology, reviewed.
He ordered a chicken fresco sandwich from the wide splay of choices, served immediately after one staff member toasted it to perfection. I opted for the smoked salmon sandwich, most notable for its unique combination of scallion cream cheese and pumpernickel bread.
The balance between the thinly sliced cucumbers and tomato, paired with the cuts of smoked salmon and sprinkle of capers, made this a filling lunch between study sessions. Meanwhile the chicken fresco uses avocado, queso fresco, and roasted chicken for the bulk of its contents. A layer of roasted red peppers and a bed of tomatillo salsa is added on ciabatta bread for a delicious hot meal.
“Good consistency on the bread. It was light and airy,” Messina said.
Outside of the sandwiches is an open fridge of beverages and breakfast items to grab-and-go. The salad bar has a plethora of options for different palates, while the hot bar has mouthwatering skewers of different meats to showcase. Regardless of what someone craves for lunch, they are sure to find something at Fresh&Co for a reasonable price.
During restaurant week, the establishment is offering $8 sandwiches to students when they present the Campus Clipper coupon and valid student ID. January is international students month, where Fresh&Co is promoting their 30% off sandwiches deal. Similar deals are on rotation on the Campus Clipper website–the way students learn to save money!
