Rotations begin July 1st- this is New Years Day of the medical world (new med students, interns, residents, and fellows all start officially on this day). June 15th is pretty safe. It seems like a far way off but it is never to early to give consideration to these two very important years. Learn as much as you can as early as possible so that the transition is a smooth one.
I have to disagree that Food and Friends is the best restaurant in Lewisburg. Actually I put it towards the bottom of my list- the service is notoriously slow, the food mediocre (most of their menu is stuff I can make at home), and the prices a bit high for the quality of food you are getting. I would suggest the Tavern as a far superior restaurant, though for lunch only (dinner there is nothing to get excited over. And their sushi is probably the worst I've ever had). Julian's is by far the best restaurant in Greenbrier County if not SE WV. It's the best food you can get within an hour of Lewisburg and the service is excellent. Although it is on the pricier side, it honestly is not that much more. I also suggest the Harvest Market Grille in Fairlea (on the N 219 side, across from the fairground). Their sandwhiches and wraps are excellent, and entrees are not bad either. Very reasonable too. Don't forget about the General Lewis Inn, either. They have great food for any meal. And for those of you that are nocturnal, you will find Granny's to be a godsend.
We might be putting together a restaurant/bar crawl for that first weekend and it will no doubt include all of these restaurants. I'll keep you guys posted.
