I'd use my db on Starbucks, but I feel like I should save it for the Den, considering how much I'm likely to go there. A 24 hour Denny's that's only a 15 second walk from the back door of my building? Fuck yeah I'm spending money there. My only problem with it is that it's so expensive to get regular sized meals there. I'll have to do some research and find which menu items are most cost efficient. I have 300 dollars this semester as opposed to the 200 I had last semester though, so at least I have that going for me.
Speaking of which, the Den is located in South Village Crossing, which is now open as of two days ago. We went in and scoped it out before they even started serving food, and I gotta say, that building is fantastic. It seems like the kind of place I could hang out all day in with a hella big Starbucks drink and just do homework or whatever. The dining hall in SoVi is really cool, but they haven't really been handling the newly-opened rush that it seems to be getting. With any luck, it will get better as teh semester progresses. Adam and I went this morning for breakfast though, and there were only a few people in there. I guess no one wants to get food at 7am, regardless of how new said food is.
Crown Commons has been basically empty as well. This is great.
