Within walking distance of the Flagstaff neighborhood, you have a few choices depending on the time of the year. If you walk South, up the hill, you will come to Chautauqua Park and their dining hall, which is a beautiful historic building, is open from Spring through Fall. Alternately, you can walk North down 9th Street to Pearl Street and there are loads of fabulous restaurants, but that is a bit of a walk. Closer to Flagstaff is the Hill where you will find low cost restaurants catering to students, but still delicious such as Thai Avenue and Five Guys. A more upscale option on the Hill is Aioin, which is in a fun little historical building with a great bar and fireplace with excellent tapas. Loads of options in all directions. And you can always hike up Flagstaff Mountain to the Flagstaff restaurant for 5 star food, views and ambiance.
