First, be on the look out for their taco truck (or other food trucks for that matter). Secondly, this famed Iron Chef restaurant is great for a fancy night out with good food and exciting atmosphere.

Essentials
Open 24/7! Free garage parking for 2 hours with $10+ on receipt. Great prices on college essentials (think deli/fresh produce/meats). In my opinion, it's the heart of U City.
