Cheap Food and Drink

One of the great things about Penn State … well, State College, actually … is the great food and drink deals available to the hungry and thirsty students. Here are some of my favorites from 1994:

1. Pizza Pie North – this pizza place may not have had the best pizza around (sometimes a little soggy, oddly enough), but the price was unbeatable. A large cheese pizza for $3.99 – and that included delivery! Oh happy days!

2. The Café 210 West – On Sunday nights, the Café had 5-cent wing night, and also $1.00 Yuengling bottles. The wings were small, but for $1.00, you could have an entire meal. I’m getting fatter just thinking about it.

3. The Den – On Thursday nights, the Den had $1.00 pitchers of beer nights. Even with the $2.00 cover, you got one free pitcher. Even though the pitchers were a little smaller than standard size, it was still well worth the investment. I still have trouble forking out $8 or more for pitchers because of this.

4. The Gingerbread Man – On Wednesday nights, they had $0.50 drafts of Black and Tan. I believe they had 10-cent wing night as well, but I can’t remember (black and tan knocks one on his/her ass).

5. Uni Mart – On Tuesdays, they had 19-cent hot dogs. This was lunch and dinner for under a buck. One of the few reasons to look forward to Tuesdays.

There were many other great specials. If you remember some, pass them along.
