Can't beat sitting at the bar and ordering their tacos. It's Asian/Mexican fusion so be prepared for some new (and delicious flavors). You are likely to find me there on Taco Tuesdays :-)

The best burgers around. If you are extra lucky, "The Megan" will be on special. The day I got my own burger was one of the best days of my life ;-)
Go! Say hi to Al. Tell him Megan sent you.

This adorable market and cafe just opened this Fall. It's a great place to stop for a sandwich or a cup of coffee - or to grab a bottle of wine or some beer! It's not open on Sundays.

Drinks & Nightlife
Often topping Best Bars in the South lists, this place earns their cred. Fantastic cocktails and a whiskey and bourbon selection that can't be beat. They also have a pool table :-) Not many undergrads can afford a $10 cocktail, so it tends to be a slightly older clientele.

Perfect for hipsters and beer snobs. Also suitable for all people who want a super casual drink or 3. I'm neither a hipster nor a beer snob and I still fit in just fine.

Arts & Culture
I'm a little biased, but I serve on the Board for FRANK and I think it's just great. So approachable and fun and lively; local artists featuring high quality art. It's not your typical gallery but worth dropping in for sure.
