When you get the honor of being able to eat outside wherever you want when you become an upperclassman is something all underclassman dream of. Though, when that reality comes some students who don’t have enough money to get food everyday from Yoshino's or 206 they wonder what to get to satisfy their hunger but will also not use all of their money. Well if you go two blocks on Madison St. you can find a small convenient store that many students visit daily even if they already got something from Yosh or 206.
At the small store it offers anything from small twinkies to whole loaves of bread. The store is named Plaza Select Foods and it is on the same block as some of O'Dea's favorites. There are snacks right when you enter and then some small aisles of food. They have refrigerated drinks in the back and they even have some cleaning products and some emergency stuff.
When interviewing the store owner he told me that they opened up last march and have been getting good business but their favorite customers are the O'Dea students. The store owner said that when other students from other schools come in they are loud and make commotion but when the O'Dea students come in they are respectful.
If you ever are on Madison St. around O'Dea then go check out Plaza Select Foods to go get a snack or a drink and go say hi to the owner and the employees.
