The most popular delivery restaurants for college neighborhoods in Boston, according to Yelp Eat24 data
Delivery is often the way to go for college students in need of some study session brain fuel or a late-night snack in their dorm.
With that in mind, and with help from Yelp, we rounded up the most popular delivery spots in college neighborhoods throughout Boston. The list was compiled using data from Eat24, Yelp’s online food ordering platform, with popularity determined by the number of delivery or pickup orders the business has received in the past three months. Yelp only included businesses with at least a 3-star rating on the platform.
You may notice that some restaurants appear on multiple lists; Yelp said this overlap was probably because some of the restaurants have extensive delivery reach.
