University

. JEN LUDINGTON WELCOME EDITION

Shopping

If you’re tired of the same old graffiti and slightly off aroma of the Ave., or just feeling a desire for high-end retail, University Village is located just northeast of campus, a haven for the young and the budgetless. Like a mystical oasis in a desert terrain, the University Village is home to a range of upscale shopping. The reason for its location in the University District remains a mystery, as most college students could never afford to shop regularly here; thus, U-Village is a perfect outing for while the parentals are in town. A combination of shopping and dining, the beauty of U-Village is its variety. If you don’t like the makeup at Sephora, head over to the M.A.C. store. If you don’t like the coffee at the central Starbucks, head to the other one on the north side. The village has a large variety of shops and restaurants, but here are some highlights to get you started.

,

Village

Crate & Barrel — A two-story museum of refined home decor, this store is fun to visit if even just for window shopping. From oddly shaped shot glasses to full living room sets, this place is for the home lovers. Storables — The store of a thousand different boxes, this place has the answers to any storage needs. It’s a bit more pricey than places like Target, but the selection is immensely bigger than a general supply store. You may even find something unique enough to earn a spot in your dorm room. Paint the Town — More of an activity than a store, this place has paintyour-own pottery for a more personal approach. From bowls to mugs to fun shapes, patrons choose their ceramic and paint in-store with full creative license. Anthropologie — Urban Outfitter’s more expensive older sister, this store has a pretty and petite style. This may not be where to build your whole wardrobe, but it’s a good place to look for the perfect piece.

UNIVERSITY VILLAGE JEN LUDING TON | THE D AILY

Dining Johnny Rockets — Straight out of the 1950s, this diner is sure to get you on your feet — or at least well fed. From the checkered tile floor to the red diner stools, this place is a treat — and you may even get to see the staff dance the jailhouse rock. The Ram — A restaurant, bar and brewery, the Ram has debatably the best burgers in the area. With a sports-bar-like motif, this is an ideal place to head with a group for a tasty night.
