Lunch

The most convenient location for lunch is the area around University Blvd. and Park Ave., about 1/2 mile SSW of McClelland Hall. There is a pedestrian underpass underneath Speedway on the west side of McClelland. The easiest way to get to University and Park is to head south under it and through campus, eventually veering right to Park Ave., which you can continue to follow south to University Ave. See the map below. (One can also walk towards Speedway and Campbell to the east.)
