WHERE YOU ARE (TO DRINK)
1. Rumor, 1500 Sansom St. You started Fling early with a Thursday night downtown, got yourself a VIP wristband and you’ve gotten several compliments on your new dress.
2. Chancellor St. Day Party A mosh pit of frat tanks, cheap alcohol and endless picture–taking to prove we’re still the “Social Ivy.” You’ve been spilled on three times, and one of your friends cracked his iPhone.
3. The Quad You attempted to sneak into Ware to visit your old room, were denied access and watched the Mask & Wig performance since you were already there.
4. Franklin Field With a lineup like Janelle Monae, Tyga and Girl Talk, it’s hard to imagine being ANYWHERE else Saturday night (except Villanova). You have to admit, after all the hoopla, the concert was awesome! And you’re still drunk!
5. Villanova Poll of Penn’s campus (read: guesstimate based on recent Facebook statuses) revealed Alesso > Girl Talk. You’ve enjoyed leaving the Penn Bubble but have no idea where you are. Which was your bus again?
WHERE YOU SHOULD BE (TO EAT)
1. Little Pete’s Diner, 17th and Walnut Streets 24 hours You may be exhausted after tearing up the dance floor, but the short walk will be worth it for chicken fingers ($8), a BLT ($6) or a Cheeseburger Deluxe ($7)—each for the price of one more drink, with table service at no additional cost.
2. Allegro Pizza, 40th and Spruce Streets 11 a.m.–3 a.m. Skip the mediocre pizza you get every weekend anyway and spring for a stromboli ($10–14) or mozzarella sticks ($6) to reenergize… and maybe help you black–in for the long day/night/weekend ahead. It’s nearby, on campus and dangerously close to Copa margaritas…
3. The Quad Since you're locked out of the buildings, eat your feelings and reconnect with the freshman 15. Booths will be dispersed throughout selling fried Oreos ($5), funnel cake ($5) and chili cheese fries ($5) to satisfy any mid–day cravings. Sorry upperclassmen, freshman meal swipes won’t help you here.
4. Wawa, 38th and Spruce Streets 24 hours Savor the memories of finally seeing Girl Talk after all these years over a meatball hoagie ($) or mac and cheese ($). The Spruce favorite is a great spot to rendezvous and the snacks are crucial to help you rally for the late–nights that await in Rack Frat City.
5. Campus Corner, 829 Lancaster Ave. 11 a.m.–2 a.m. Best to refuel before heading back—or to ensure you find your way back at all! Right on the edge of campus, Campus Corner has thick crust pizza ($12), onion rings ($4), wings ($8) and everything in between. Try to keep post–departure–FOMO to a minimum.
