Options for Alternative Eaters in Hartford

By Theresa Warburton ’07 and Josh Cerretti ’06

Aladdin’s Halal Restaurant

Delivers to the Trinity campus. It is a Middle-Eastern pizza place that offers traditional pizza offerings and ‘all-american appetizers,’ but also a wide range of vegetarian Middle Eastern food. They have delicious falafel wraps, and also a vegetarian platter that is a gigantic meal of traditional middle eastern dishes (both are vegan). Also try the veggie sub and vegetarian pizza (if you’re vegan, make sure to ask for no mayo or cheese on the sub, and no cheese on the pizza). Both have spinach, broccoli, breaded eggplant, mushrooms and more and are filling and delicious. Aladdin’s can also be ordered online at Campusfood.com – you place your delivery order online and it is sent to the restaurant and then to you!

Alchemy Juice Bar and Café

A new-age juice bar and café on the edge of south campus. Almost everything on the menu is vegetarian and can easily be made vegan. Try the Spicy Tofu Wrap or the Burrito Grande! Alchemy uses all natural and organic ingredients and is dedicated to the idea of healthy eating. They also offer an extensive juice bar, with smoothies and wheat grass shots, and also make homemade baked goods that are often vegan. They also have a selection of pre-packaged cookies, cakes, granola bars, fruit leathers, candy bars that are all vegan, and also sell organic fresh cheeses and hard-to-find vegetables. There is also an oxygen bar and a yoga studio, so be sure to check this place out a few times to get the full experience.
