Mon Jun 22 08:18:45 -0700 2009 4794486 178033 JanPrimus 1 4797290 I assume you're checking out ONU, because I can't imagine why on Earth anyone else would go to Ada. Last time I was there (which has been a number of years) there was a McDonald's, a Taco Bell, and a few college bars. Of course, I wasn't planning to eat there, so I didn't really look around much. However, I have heard that there is a place called Marias or something similar... a local Italian joint. I've been told it's the best eating option in the area. And the area is TINY, so you won't have any problem finding it. Just drive down Main street and you'll have to be able to spot it. ETA: Oh - found it. Menu looks like typical small college town italian place. I have no idea what the quality is like, but I've heard people in the area like it. http://www.vivamariapizzaandpasta.com/ Tue Jun 23 05:05:54 -0700 2009 4794486 114561 Ditdah 2 4797561 Yes, ONU is the destination. No quintessential midwestern small town cafe in Ada? Tue Jun 23 07:02:35 -0700 2009 4797290 12023 Hungry Celeste 3 4797698 Quintessential Midwestern coffee shop (which is not the same as a coffee house): the Corner Grill in Bowling Green, right on your way. http://www.bgscene.com/restaurants/locations/corner_grill.php Tue Jun 23 07:42:10 -0700 2009 4797561 13409 Jim M 3 4798238 Not to my knowlegde. Ada really is miniscule. My father went to college there, and he took me there when I was maybe 14? I was totally shocked at that point because there was NO fast food. (I was a teenager. I thought the world couldn't survive without McDonalds.) I know things have improved over the years, but it's still just some pizza places, a few college-age bars, and a smattering of fast food. The whole town is around 2 square miles in size. Technically, I'm not sure it's even a city - it's called "The Village of Ada." It's very pretty, with old houses and tree-lined streets, but there's hardly anything there. Ohio Northern was in the process of building an Inn, and I assume it's open by now. It is (or was supposed to be - I assume it didn't change) open to the public, even though it's on the school grounds. There was going to be dining onsite, and it looked like it was going to be a nice place. That might be worth looking into. Oh, wow - I just looked it up. The menu looks much larger than I would have expected. http://www-new.onu.edu/community/the_inn_at_ohio_northern_university/menu_at_the_inn Tue Jun 23 10:00:31 -0700 2009 4797561 114561 Ditdah 1 4797370 there are a couple of searches on here of places to eat on the 75 in toledo. should help. there are a few nice places. beirut/byblos are excellent middle eastern food and tony packo's (while a bit off the beaten path) is worth it just to say you've been. i love their veggie chili. Tue Jun 23 05:44:18 -0700 2009 4794486 99136 AMFM 1 4797609 Padrones Pizza, which is small Ohio franchise, isn't too bad, but the ones i've been are just carryout/delivery. You won't be too far from Lima, which has three Kewpee locations. And then there's Findlay. Tony's isn't bad. And people like Rossili's.

Tue Jun 23 08:56:22 -0700 2009 4797609 1082234 jroach 3 4822970 No the best pizza in BG is Myle's :) Wed Jul 01 18:33:38 -0700 2009 4797999 70545 heidikay 4 4832987 by far! and some of the best pizza in the state, much less nw ohio. the MYLES secret is that they use two different tomato sauces. not that PAGLIAIS and PISANELLOS aren't good too-- in their own collegiate way.
