What a beautiful day for a walk to the University Plaza. Most shops are open for business but no seating available anywhere, takeout only.

Has a wide variety of options to choose from. Some of the stores are also open until 04:00 in the morning. Plenty of parking space. Has a 24/7 convenience store. Late night pizza cravings?

Lots of food options. It would have been 5 stars if Mikey's was still there. RIP.
