Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market
This one is worth waking up at 8am on a Saturday for. The Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market is full of fresh produce, tasty food vendors, and much more. It’s a great spot to walk around, get some coffee, maybe a light breakfast and a cheap bouquet of flowers to brighten up your home or dorm room. A great view of the bay and a short walk away from downtown, don’t miss out on taking your friends here.
Nick’s Crispy Taco’s/Ireland’s
The unofficial bars of USF– if you have your friend(s) visiting during the week make sure and take them to Taco Tuesday at Nick’s Crispy Taco’s for good food and reasonably priced tequila shots. Keep the ball rolling and spend at least part of your “Thirsty Thursday” at Ireland’s where you’ll definitely run into fifty people you know from school.
