Lunch: Red Hat has a large cafeteria, prices for lunch range $5-10 / person. There is a deli across the street, Metro Deli, where prices range from $7-15 / person.

Dinner:

Exception Chipotle, anticipating $16/head for dinner. Chipotle will probably be closer to $10/head. Options include:

• India Palace, Chelmsford Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices, good for large groups, quiet in evenings (Good for talking)
• Bamboo, Westford Asian fusion, good atmosphere, room for large groups
• Burton's Grill, Westford American. Haven't been.
• Karma, Westford Asian fusion, room for large groups (can reserve private room too), great sushi
• Chipotle, Westford Cheap Mexican food, good, fresh, fast. In the evening, probably won't be too busy.
• 99 Restaurant, Westford Walkable from office, across the street and down the hill, but food not so great. Few veggie options.
• Thai Jasmine, Chelmsford Excellent Thai food, reasonable prices
