####Best Place to Make Out When Your Roommate Won’t Leave: Capen Park (AKA The Cliff)
1600 Capen Park Drive
Having difficulty finding alone time with that special someone? No problem. Despite the fact that Capen Park is only about five minutes away from campus, it feels like its own little world. The view alone is completely worth the walk, and The Cliff serves as a perfect place to relax.
####Best Place to Get Food at 1 a.m.: Broadway Diner
22 S. Fourth St.
With the Broadway Diner’s special late-night weekend hours, there’s no better place for a college student. Broadway Diner has a pretty classic American menu, and it is a great place to grab a quick breakfast (even at 1 a.m.). The Diner is perfect for those night owls who are hungry even after Rollins Late Night ends.
####Best Place to Get Good (Though Somewhat Sketchy) Chinese Food: Formosa
913 E. Broadway
Okay, so the outside of Formosa looks a little questionable, but give it a chance. With its cozy interior, crazy wallpaper and extensive Chinese menu, it’s a must for any college student. Dishes range from $4 to $11, so it’s more than reasonable. Fun side fact: they deliver.
####Best Place to Get Cheap Mexican food on the Fly: El Rancho
1014 E. Broadway
So, most MU students are already familiar with El Rancho, but it had to be included. El Rancho features a quality menu with Mexican food that’s actually pretty good. Sitting right in the middle of downtown CoMo, it’s a great place to grab a fairly quick bite to eat.
####Best Place to See a Great Concert That Won’t Empty Your Wallet: The Blue Note
17 N. Ninth St.
Calling all concert lovers, The Blue Note is waiting for you. With a concert season featuring everyone from Odd Future and Big Gigantic to Hoodie Allen and Boys Like Girls, there’s a show for everyone. It’s a great venue in a convenient location, perfect for the collegiate.
####Best Place to See a Local/Indie Film: Ragtag Cinema
10 Hitt Street
A movie theater that has couches instead of seats? Yes, please. Ragtag Cinema has two beautiful theaters, one of which is completely furnished by couches. The Little Theatre comfortably seats about 70 on its signature couches, and the Big Theatre seats 130 in a combination of fixed seats with tables and couches. Definitely one of the most comfortable theaters out there.
