The skyways are a popular place to get food among delegates. It gives them great views of the city, freedom of movement, and many options to choose from. However, those options can be overwhelming, and the limited time for meals only increases that stress. Here are delegates’ reviews and recommendations for meals from the skyway.

Potbelly Reviews

★★★★☆

Pizza Melt and Strawberry Shake

“The strawberry shake was really good!”

By Saja Saad

Lakeville Delegation, Editor

★★★☆☆

BLTA (with no Avocado)  

“It was very good, it was very crispy! You should totally go there, they were actually really efficient with only three workers.”

By Karysa Brown

Carlton Delegation, Reporter

1, 2, 3 Sushi Review

★★★★★  

Japanese Rice Bowl with Tofu and Asian BBQ Sauce

“I loved all the different textures and tastes in the bowl, especially the difference between the tofu and the ginger… It tasted delicious all together and was one of the cheaper options! Just a warning they don’t accept Apple Pay.”

Starbucks Review

★★★☆☆

Impossible Breakfast Sandwich and Mango Dragon Fruit Lemonade 

“They didn’t really have a big line and I think it was good. It was a very simple dinner but it was alright. It wasn’t big, amazing restaurant type food but I ate with my best friend and eating with someone usually makes the food better.”

Ginelli’s Pizza Review 

★★★★★  

A Cheese Slice, Sausage Slice, and a Breadstick

“It was really good and the portions were pretty good too! The owners are really nice and the restaurant is very nice too, it has Venice-style paintings and they’re huge! It’s a really nice place, you should really go there.”
