From about 11 to 2:30 they have a really good little lunch buffet with different curries and other "traditional" Thai food. Yum! :)

Uber casual place with a tiny menu but SO GOOD. Try the poke bowl with an iced Thai tea. :) Tasty miso soup on the side for a buck or two.

Legit family-style Korean dinners. A bit expensive, but this is where our Korean friends like to go. :)

Bakery. Coffee shop. Pastries. Breakfast. Brunch hangout. Upscale, rustic industrial-ish vibe near the train tracks. The bleu cheese macaroni and cheese alone is worth traveling here for! Also the eggs benedict.

Drinks & Nightlife

Excellent food with three venues: the pizza and burritos on the left, theater in the middle (with tables where you can have your pizza or burritos or drinks brought in to you!!), and the more upscale-yet-homey (think glossy woods and chalkboards listing wines of the night) grille on the right. Fabulous avalanche pizza on the left. Excellent ales in the grill on the right, where it can be loud but a great "going out" night spot. Try the garlic cilantro fries!!!

Arts & Culture

This is a beautiful building which houses a collection of fascinating photographs from the early 20th century in the Aleutian Islands. Go into the atrium and ask Mr. Jaime at the desk if he can show you a few.

Something for everyone here. A wide open lawn for sunning by the fountain, an espresso bar, a huge children's area with big bright windows and daily readings, and the best-kept secret, the Ann Stevens room over the Alaska wing. Lush rugs, south facing windows, old books, peace and quiet!

Shopping

This store has a little bit of EVERYTHING: imported candies and tea, cheeky candles (ever hear of "geek" scented?? they have it), hats, cute bags, and gorgeous gifts GALORE. Stuff for the guys, too, like mustache polish, cuticle balm. In the tiny secret alcove in the back you'll find a small selection of fresh donuts and cookies, and fresh brewed tea and coffee!

One of our favorite places to go for fresh seafood and unusual, hard-to-find imported foods. :) Also has a cheese bar and fresh made pizzas and sandwiches.

Sightseeing

Go park at the bookstore and walk the Spine, a roughly .5 mile long indoor walk from the middle of the campus all the way to the library on the east end. During school sessions, you'll walk past basketball, volleyball, or gymnastics practices in the sports complex, hockey practice on the ice, and live music in the student union during lunch hour. If the sun is shining, walk on the outdoor paved trails. It's a beautiful campus.

The views from even just the parking lot are beautiful. The drive up to the lot is long and challenging during the winter (good winter tires required) but easy in the summer. A favorite spot during the midnight sunset season.

Walking in the downtown neighborhoods, this is a great stop for a hot coffee drink :) Also has a deli bar and fresh made pizzas and sandwiches, available to go or to eat there. Beware the lunch rush of all the downtown attorneys jockeying to get their curry chicken bowls. :)

Good organic section, a deli, and an in-store Starbucks if that's your thing :)
