Imagine the Davis Center is a Six Flags with much cleaner bathrooms. Not too much of a stretch, right? So if the Center is a Six Flags, New World Tortilla is without a doubt, Superman Ride of Steel. The line is annoyingly long, but when you finally get up to the counter and the guy in the tan baseball hat hands you your six-dollar and thirty-cent beef burrito, well it’s just plain exhilarating.

At least that’s the sense I get from those who have actually eaten from New World. I tried to get a free sample at the Davis Center opening, but for fear of getting trampled to death within my first week of college, I booked it. Except somehow instead of finding the nearest exit… I found that I had cut everyone in the Ben and Jerry’s smoothie line. (Oops.) So anyways I enjoyed my delicious banana smoothie and then hightailed it out of there.

Aside from tortillas and ice cream, there’s Sakura sushi, Capers Mediterranean food, Sukhis Indian food, and the Smart Market has things like yogurt, wraps, and juice, a lot of which you could probably buy at the Marché. Brennan’s Pub is on a different floor than the rest of the food, and it supposedly serves wings and burgers. So far it mainly smells like grease and looks sad.

No matter where you go to eat in the Davis Center, it can get pretty crowded. Whether or not the crowds will die down as the year progresses is yet to be seen. Either way, the lines don’t discourage many.

“I think it’ll be worth the wait because I have a class at three and I have a lot of time for tasty food,” said Patrick Pearson (’10) while patiently waiting for his tortilla.

You go boy.
