<p>The Strip is the area that is immediately west of the Stadium on University…near Publix grocery.</p>
<p>To the east of Publix, is an area filled with restaurants/coffee/ice cream shops, etc. Then, to the west of Publix is a bunch more places.</p>

<p>The Strip is within walking distance since it borders the campus…and it is on the Crimson Ride route.</p>
<p>I think visitors should visit the Strip, but also visit Downtown (where DePalma’s, Mug Shots, etc, are) and Midtown Village (where Iguana Grill, Wings U, etc are) to give you an idea of what’s offered in the area.</p>
<p>Downtown…west on University…past Queen City Blvd.</p>
<p>Midtown Village…on McFarland, immediately south of 15th St.</p>
