Take it from us. We’ve been here the longest after all.

There are certain places in this town that you’re going to remember for the rest of your life. There are other places you’ll probably never visit.

Yeah, someday the jail might be important to you, but the day that happens, the rest of the stuff on this list is going to stop being important.

You probably haven’t even considered the fact that Brookings has way more pizza places than grocery stores.

Well, we have.

Because we’ve been here for more years combined than most of you are old, we’ve come to understand that there are certain types of places a college student might like to frequent and other types of places he or she might not like to frequent.

So, here, we provide your own Collegian yellow pages. It’s sort of the essentials of the Brookings community.

We’ve separated the restaurants by type of food served and whether you might want to take a certain someone to that restaurant.

We’ve highlighted your Friday night entertainment options (for both the over and under-21 set). We’ve made sure to include the places where you can buy your own food for when eating out gets a little boring.

All in all, we think it’s a good deal.

Clip it out.

Hang it on your fridge.

We guarantee you’ll be calling at least one of these numbers before September is through.

And if you’re really lucky, you’ll have called more than one.
