CSA To Offer Annual Restaurant Fest

The Commuter Student Association (CSA) is sponsoring their annual "CSA Restaurant Fest" on May 1 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. For the event, the CSA is sponsoring meals for 100 University of Scranton students. Meals will include an appetizer, entrée and dessert, each from a different downtown Scranton restaurant.  

The goal of this event is to promote downtown restaurant businesses and encourage University students to explore the many diverse food options in downtown Scranton. The event includes six meal routes. Each route will offer University students a different appetizer, entrée and dessert from three different downtown Scranton restaurants. The routes will be assigned at random to participating University students, mindful of any dietary needs, and will offer students the chance to both try new  restaurant businesses while enjoying a walk around downtown Scranton.  

"For the past four years, Restaurant Fest has been a major event for CSA, giving students the opportunity to explore downtown Scranton, discover local restaurants and support small businesses. It’s, by far, my favorite event of the year," says Vito Rotell '26, CSA President and a business analytics and operations management double major.  

"Restaurant Fest is a fantastic opportunity for students to explore and support local small businesses while enjoying a full-course meal—appetizer, entrée and dessert—completely free. With options for vegan and vegetarian students, it’s an inclusive way to experience the best of our community’s food scene," said Olivia Lewis '25, CSA Vice President and neuroscience major.
