Fourth Avenue in Huntington, known as the Old Main Corridor, stretches west along the Ohio River from Marshall University’s main campus. It is the heart of downtown Huntington. Along the corridor, you can basically find any type of food you can imagine.

Fourth Avenue in Huntington, a.k.a. The Old Main Corridor, is named so because it connects Marshall University’s administrative building, known as “Old Main” because it was the first part of the university ever built (1837), to downtown. Along the way, you have plenty of food choices to satisfy your appetite.
