Backbay travel offers both package tours as well as individual trip tickets. It has moved beyond the role of the traditional travel agency to become a personalized travel consultant for your business or leisure travel. Whether it's an urgent business meeting in New York, a family reunion at Molokai Ranch or a walking tour through Tuscany, this is the right place to book your travel. Their travel agents are great and will help you out with every aspect of your trip. If something cannot be worked out they will diligently work on it and get back to you with more details and solutions. I feel comfortable and safe with Backbay.

Their microbrews are usually pretty good. If you can't make up your mind, go for the sampler, which has six shots of their brews. The food is good too -- a little expensive -- but they have huge portions. Approx $20/person for food and drink.

A 10-inch vietnamese sandwich starts at $2.50. They have a different taste because of the vietnemese sauce and cilantro garnish. They're open 24 hours, but after 10 PM, though, they add $25c to every item. It's still cheap. They have a free internet kiosk too.

This place is an ideal campus hangout. Their selection of baked items, from bread to cakes to cookies, is large, fresh and delicious. Check out their chocolate chip bagel. Look for the samplers next to the order counters.
They make good panini sandwiches and soups too. My favorite is the cheddar brocolli soup served in a bread bowl. The coffee is good too, with free unlimited refills while you're there.
Bring your laptop along, because they have free wifi.

This is a pretentious upscale place next to a university --- talk about bad location. To top it off, the food isn't that great either, and the portions are very small. An omelette costs approx $8, and three small crab cakes will set you back $13.
The atmosphere sucks too because its empty most of the time.

This is a welcome break from the burgers and sandwiches. This is not your regular greasy chinese place. The food here is very healthy and is cooked in green tea. They have lunch specials for $4.99.
Main dishes include crispy chicken, orange-flavored chicken, curry chicken, basil chicken and minced pork. For your side dish you can choose between rice and egg noodles, or instead go lo-carb by substituting it with salad entirely.
While you're there try their funky teas like mango green tea with bobba, or hot almond tea. They have often have samplers of these at the order counter.
The orders take a little long compared to your regular fast food place but the wait it worth it. The UCI location is open till 1 AM making it ideal for late night cram sessions.
