5 Restaurants Everyone Should Visit In Athens, Ohio

Court Street is known as Ohio's most eccentric half-mile for a reason.

5 Restaurants Everyone Should Visit In Athens, Ohio
Anna Kropov

Athens, Ohio is the brick road town that is home to Ohio University's main campus. It an adorable place full of so much life and history, so it goes without saying that I recommend everyone to visit there at least once! Here are five places you should visit the next time you're visiting us bobcats.

1. The North End

Brand new to Athens is the Court Street restaurant North End! If you want Tacos more than just on Tuesdays and a variety of margaritas to choose from, look no further than here.

2. Pigskin Bar and Grill

Every Wednesday, they offer a pound of wings for only $5, and trust me, they're delicious! Plus, the music they play is always dance-worthy.

3. Broney's Alumni Grill

@broneys_ou

Not only do they have amazing champagne slushies, but they also have good food too. You can grab dinner, stay for drinks and enjoy ladies' nights (during non-COVID times) on Fridays and Saturdays!

4. Donkey Coffee

@donkeycoffeeohio

Donkey is my personal favorite coffee shop. They have a very quiet, relaxed, comfortable atmosphere and an aesthetic vibe to the place with two floors of seating for you to enjoy. On certain nights (during non-COVID times), they even have open mic nights in their back room, where there's even a piano available for you to play! I love the staff and I could easily fall asleep on their many couches.

5. Brenen's Coffee Cafe

If you're looking for a bistro vibe and a bigger space to study, Brenen's is for you! They have great sandwich and coffee combos, a really big seating area, and tables wide enough for you to spread out all your materials for a study session. It has a more modern vibe than say, Donkey, and it's very popular.

All the wonderful places I've mentioned don't encompass all that Court Street or Athens has to offer in general, but it's a good preview! Keep your head on your shoulders though, because Athens happens (if you know, you know).

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
