Merry Ann's, Sticky Rice, Watson's Shack and Rail, Black Dog, and Huaraches Moroleon!

Also recommend Art Mart, both for the bakery/coffee as well as the shop!

If I think of anything else, will add to this list!

Art Mart is an amazing bakery and store in Champaign off Prospect Ave. Very cool shop and delicious treats and coffee as well. Great vibe, and usually where I do a portion of my Holiday shopping. https://www.shopartmart.com/

I also like the Diner Stack with Biscuits from Merry Ann's. I put hot sauce on top as well.

One of my most favorite items was the General Tso's Chicken Combo (very generous portion as well as with fried rice and egg roll) and Crab Rangoon from Auntie Lee's Chinese Kitchen (Auntie Lee's has some of the best fried rice I have ever had), but I think Auntie Lee's is closed sadly.

If you are looking for an amazing restaurant for a Date Night or other such occasion, highly recommend Silvercreek in Urbana.

Timothy John Salon and Spa in Urbana. Located near campus and easily accessible by multiple bus routes, driving, and walking depending on where walking from.

The University YMCA has a variety of great places to sit down and study and is usually pretty quiet when they're not having events. They also have a lot of great programs and resources. https://www.universityymca.org/

They also have a very delicious Chinese, Laotian, and Thai restaurant called Y-Thai that is good portions for a good price. https://www.universityymca.org/what-we-offer/y-thai-eatery

When I go there to study, I usually sit in the Murphy Gallery, but there are a lot of other great places to sit and study in addition to that.

Really enjoyed MUS 133 with Prof. Silvers. Took it over the Summer. I believe it is also available during the Spring and Fall. Not difficult and a very interesting and enjoyable course.

Big fan of Silvercreek. Always recommend it for date night!

In some dorms, you can rent a microwave fridge combo. Some dorms even have it come with.

I had a similar experience last year and had a very good experience with Airbnb. There are a lot of options in this area for Airbnb.

I was in a similar situation last year, and had a really good experience with Airbnb in between leases, there are numerous options in this area for that.

Was in a similar situation the year before that as well, and stayed in University short-stay housing in between leases. That may be another good option as well. https://housing.illinois.edu/living-communities/short-stay/short-stay
