The New Capitol Restaurant is a little restaurant on Kingsbridge Road, one block from Lehman College. The diner is very affordable for the student or professor on the go and the service is great. It is not always as congested as the other diners near Lehman, making it a great place to take a break.

New Capitol is conveniently located right next to the 4 train, behind the twenty-two and the nine bus stops, and not too far away from the shopping districts on Fordham and Jerome avenues.

Since life is short, remember to eat desert first! The delicious double chocolate-layered cake had a blissful flavor. There were several layers of mouth watering chocolate cream. For $3.50, you can buy yourself a little time in chocolate heaven.

When we eat cheesecake we think of comfort, especially with strawberry cheesecake. The New Capitol's cheesecake is topped with a beautiful, rich red glaze and decorated with fresh strawberries. For $3.25, it's a meal for a student or professor on the go and on a budget.

The vanilla milkshake had real chunks of vanilla ice cream, yet it had a smooth consistency. The flavor was superb. Grab one if you want something light before dinner, or maybe as a little treat for yourself after midterms.

New York is filled with diners just like the one right around the corner from our campus. The New Capitol Restaurant has that typical Greek influence, yet it reminds of one of home. The staff will treat you with open arms. Forget the Lehman Cafeteria; the New Capitol Restaurant is the stop for some of the best deserts that the Kingsbridge Shopping District has to offer.
