As the Hollywood award season approaches us, I think it is only appropriate to list Isla Vista’s best of the best:
Best Hipster Coffee Shop
Cajé (You will literally see barefoot men with long hair and cuffed jeans – Johnny Depp is that you?)
Best Hidden Campus Café
The Courtyard Café right next to the Engineering building
Best Place to Pick up Hotties
Casually stroll on the beach when the surfers are out to play. Or try the more conventional IV way and stroll down DP on a Friday night. Both equally not creepy at all.
Best Place for Late Night Delivery
Call up IV Mart for Ben n Jerry’s, $2.99 hamburgers, chili cheese fries, chips, or candy until 2:45 am every day!
Best IV Pickup Line
“Hey girl, I put way too much guacamole on my nachos, can you help me finish my Freebirds?”
Best Place for a Date
This is I.V….What’s a date?
Best Place to Instagram Your Stereotypical IV Sunset
Any random Oceanside deck on DP (must say #IslaVista #MyLifeYourDream), or Campus Point (#nofilter)
Best Study Break Snack
Sweet Alley’s bin candy and self-serve froyo!
Best Freebirds Substitute
For the nights when you don’t have $13.89 lying around, try Kogilicious for a $6.25 burrito!
Best Morning-After Cure
Bagel Café (I recommend the Super Emma…and pair of large sunglasses and yoga pants)
