[yapc] The campus vacinity ?

[Prakash Kailasa]

I am replying to Todd and Dave both here.

Although I am a local here I don't know the area around FAU in and out
(especially about restaurants), so my info isn't complete.

Re: if it is possible to walk from dorms to this store. I am not aware
of the exact location of the dorms within the campus, but based on my
guess, I'd think the store is at least 2 miles.

There are all kinds of restaurants within 5-mile radius of the campus,
but very few of them would be within walking distance. There's a
chinese bistro in the same plaza as the Whole Foods Market. There's
another restaurant (Alexander's?) there too, but I don't know what
type it is.

There are two indian restaurants and an indian fast food place (this
one is within walking distance from the campus) in the area.

I'll try to gather some more info.
