Next door to Newton is the town of Waltham, where a five minute drive from campus will bring you to Waltham’s busy and international Moody Street. Moody Street is home to many international restaurants and grocery stores. Hopefully you can find some familiar foods from home or at least the ingredients to cook a meal for yourself. You may find that the food served in these restaurants is slightly Americanized, but hopefully you’ll still be able to enjoy the familiar smells and tastes of home.
A number of these restaurants also have food delivery to your room. You can call the restaurant and ask if they deliver. Be prepared with your address to tell the driver where to bring the food!
