Menu of the Land

In Flagstaff, there are plenty of options to choose from when it comes to food. There's fast food places, family-owned restaurants and franchise restaurants. What I'm going to focus on are the family-owned places, since those are the places that cannot be found anywhere else.

There's really no better way to start the day than with Biff's Bagels. All the bagels are made there in the tiny little shop every day. They even make their own cream cheese. The freshness and quality of food you get at Biff's really is hard to find and is definitely where some of Flagstaff's finest breakfast can be found. Just be sure to be bring cash. I learned the hard way that they don't accept credit and debit cards.

Another place with food that can only be found in Flagstaff is NiMarcos Pizza. Okay, so there's plenty of places to find pizza in Flagstaff. But NiMarcos is different. Being relatively affordable, as well as both NiMarcos restaurants being close to NAU's campus makes NiMarcos a favorite among students. The ingredients are fresh, the pizza is made from scratch and no toppings are skimped on. They even except debit and credit cards.

So when in Flagstaff and you're looking for somewhere to eat, don't play it safe by going with one of the franchise restaurants. Wander around downtown ( where Biff's Bagels and NiMarcos Pizza are both located) for a little while and pick a restaurant. Whether you love what you find or hate it, at least you can leave knowing you got a taste that can only be found in Flagstaff.
