Every year before football season we ask our members to recommend their favorite places to eat and drink in Denton. With many of us heading to Denton for the games, it makes for a great time to explore and enjoy some of the better places to grub out and drink up. I also like to hear about establishments who truly support UNT. That is important to me. I have a couple of suggestion to get things started. First off, for quick good and cold sandwiches to beat the heat there is nothing better than the NY Sub Hub right across from Campus: I have been going here since I was a student. It's not fancy but extremely consistent. I suggest the Boiled Ham and cheese. It's a good place if you are in a hurry. Also they support the school with UNT memorabilia on the walls which is a plus. I get crap for picking this every year but it has some sentimental value for me and I do still think they make a damn good sandwich. For drinks my fav remains Eastside Eastside has 100's of drafts as well as mixed drinks for your drinking pleasure. It is a great spot to visit both before and after games. They have sort of a saloon style set up inside with a juke box and games. In the back they have a cool patio which is lit at night. They don't serve food but do have some awesome food trucks which can be better than restaurant food in my opinion. Owners are huge Mean Green fans and it is fairly normal to see UNT coaches and AD staff there after games. They will often televise aways games and it's awesome to have everyone in the bar sing the fight songs after wins. I offered some more traditional options, my hope is that we will get to view some newly created options as well as perhaps some good places that get overlooked this year. GMG
