the Holidays
Continued from page 1

they live in the city! Taking
advantage of the holiday
could also mean catching up
on sleep—enjoy it while you
can!
heard that inter-sessions
classes are definitely worth it
when it comes down to your
last year. These courses are
a good way to knock off a
couple of hours so that you
can have a lighter semester
down the road.
YOUR WINTER BREAK, YOU ARE
TO BE BOMBARDED WITH THE
FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Since finals are out of
the way by this point, you
should just enjoy the time you
have off and not worry about
the next semester. If you're
getting into your last semes-
ter, try to soak up the stress-
free lifestyle, because your
summer vacation will be most
likely be preoccupied with the
bar.
In case you just want to
keep your mind active, I have
Or you could do what
most of us do...relax, sleep
in, go out with friends, and
catch-up on all the television
shows you've missed all se-

Most importantly, enjoy
spending time with those

for yourself, because you
have worked hard all semes-

FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The Best Places to Grab a Quick
Study Break Meal
By Natalia J.
Staff Writer
Frazitr
With the study-thon
in full swing many
of us begin pulling
long days at the library, tuck-
ing ourselves away into con-
ference rooms and study car-
rels for hours on end. For
those of you who refuse to
sustain yourselves on pretzels
and severely preserved cin-
namon buns from L' Vending
Machines Bistro, I've com-
piled a list of my favorite res-
taurants that are open late,
reasonably priced, and close
enough to school for a quick
off "campus" study break.
VanLoc:
Vietnamese & Chinese
3010 Milam Street
Distance:
1.4 miles (straight down
Milam on your right, just be-
fore Elgin)
Hours of operation:
10am-11pm, 7 days a week
Cost:
$5-$ 10 per person
Favorites:
Pho Tai (noodle soup with
rare beef), Sweet and sour
soup with shrimp, Spring
rolls with peanut sauce, Tofu
in Clay Pot, and Garlic any-
thing.
Good to know:
The portions are large. You
can either split an appetizer
and meal with friends or or-
der one item for your self and
likely have left overs.
You'll never leave hungry.
Reason to go:
The food is great and there's
never a wait... perfect for a
starving student study break.
Café
Botticelli:
Italian
306 Gray Street
Distance:
1.12 miles (Main, L. on Gray,
on the left, just passed
Bagby)
Hours of operation:
II am-11pm Mon-Thur,
11am- 12am Fri-Sat, 11am-
10pm Sun
Cost:
$5-$ 10 per person
Favorites:
The Heart Healthy Veggie,
the Margherita or the Pesto
Chicken Pizza.
Good to know:
It's in Midtown, nestled in the
plaza under the Post Apart-
ments. The slices of pizza
are huge, they have a full cof-
fee bar and a glorious patio
in the back.
Reason to go:
They'll give 20% off to
STCL students with ID.
Spec's:
DeU
2410 Smith Street
Distance:
1.13 miles (Turn L. onto
Main, R. on Gray, L. on
Smith, it will be on your right)
Hours of operation:
9am-9pm Mon-Sat
Cost:
$5-$ 10 per person (5% dis-
count if you pay in cash)
Favorites:
I love the Muffelatta. It's
made with ham, salami,
melted provolone, and olive
salad mix on toasted
Muffelatta bread. I like to
substitute the ham for turkey.
Good to know:
The deli is in the back of a
liquor superstore. So if you
have little self control when
it comes to not blowing off
studying for that 6 pack of
imported beer, steer clear of
this place. Also there are only
about 12 tables to sit and eat.
Either take food to-go or try
not to visit during peak lunch
hours.
Reason to go:
You can start making a list of
all the cool stuff you're go-
ing to buy after your last fi-
nal.
Nikko
Nikko's:
Greek & American
2520 Montrose
Distance:
2.2 miles (Milam, take a R.
on Gray and a L.on
Montrose, just before
Westheimer on your R.)
Hours of operation:
10am-10pm Mon-Thur,
lOam-llpm Fri-Sat, 11am-
9pm Sun
Cost:
$5-$ 10 per person
Favorites:
The only thing I ever order
is the Chicken Kabob Sand-
wich because I'm addicted;
chunks of grilled chicken
with veggies and Taztiki in a
warm pita served with a huge
portion of perfectly seasoned
fries (substitute fries for a
Greek salad only $1.75)
Good to know:
It's a self serve restaurant so
walk up to the front, grab a
menu from the counter, and
get in line to order. There's
never really a wait but it's
pretty crowded around lunch-
time.
Reason to go:
They always have festive
Greek music playing faintly
over the speakers and plenty
of outdoor tables to get some
fresh air.
Also try Nit Noi Café,
Ponzo's, Mai's, Ming's and
BW3's. For more informa-
tion about these restaurants
