This all-age place is College-owned but that doesn't stop you from having a good time w/ friends over board games and drinks (alcoholic or otherwise). Live music, student acts will make a good night.
A good restaurant to take parents. The bar side to the left is "the bar" in town. Remember there is a "downstairs" with another bar/dancing/karoake (tues)/etc.
When people say "town" is "far" -- they're wrong. Right on College st, Sama's is the perfect setting to grab a quick bite, buy beer, get a coffee, etc. especially if you're walking from campus.
Trust me - get off campus Saturday mornings by kicking it at the farmers' market. See professors, staff, friends as you load up on goodies. Outdoor markets (Sept and May) better than winter indoors.
Bison burgers. Waterfront seating. More townies than students but a good escape, even if it's under the new bridge now.
Many Middkids don't know about this hidden gem. Good food, reasonably priced. Try a hot sandwich.
This study spot-coffee shop is a great place to hunker down. But you need to buy something, anything. Downstairs has extra seating. Meet a professor here too - Parini is fond of this place.
Study spot for students. If you can make it out here -- take an afternoon to hit the books while sipping oolong, jasmine, or one of the other hundred varieties. Meet the owner.
The traditional "sandwich place" in Marble Works. Amazing bread. Purple's pleasure is popular. BIG sandwiches. Another good "bring the parents" location.
While students might not get to this place on a weekday morning, it makes for a nice weekend morning place. Sandwiches on bagels, bagels, and Co-op next door.
Not a student hangout per se. But student crunchies know this is one of the best markets for a chunk of bread and cheese so you can have a picnic on your hike of snake mountain...
Someway, somehow you will end up here, if you're a student. Buffet lunches are a good bet. You might meet students living in the building above.
Summer(ish) only. Apparently one of the only roller-drive-up places left in the country. No kidding.
