#4 Lanes

Whenever I go to a new place I always try to eat at the local hole in wall. Well, that place in College Station is Lanes. There is basically only one thing on the menu... Chicken Fingers. You can get the chicken finger basket with cole slaw, french fries, and texas toast (you can replace and add the extras as you please). Sounds like a pretty normal chicken basket until you add THE SPECIAL SAUCE!!!!! Nothing beats it. This basket will change your life. And here is something else, it is only $5.00!!!!!!!! Cheap and amazing! If you are on a diet, this is definitely NOT the place for you. Be careful though because it is a place worth breaking a diet for. You can drive through or go inside, but this little shack has become a must go place in Aggieland. 

Another bonus that Lanes has to offer is that you can order their chicken fingers in bulk. This makes a perfect party or tailgate food. It is easy, cheap, and good cold so you can refrigerate your leftovers! If you are only in College Station for a short amount of time, make sure to get your Lanes fix! Located on Texas across from campus. 

#3 Lakeside Icehouse and Grill

If you are looking for the perfect date location, or if it is just a pretty day outside and you want to sit by a lake with your friends, this is the perfect place to go. Technically, this is in Bryan and not CS, but... trust me, the approximate 10 mile drive is definitely worth it and I am counting it as something to do in CS!!! 

This is possibly my favorite place to go on a date. If it is pretty outside you can just sit on the deck and eat really good, inexpensive food and have a few drinks until the sun sets over the lake and the stars come out. Make sure you check the website before you go because their hours change daily and they are not open on Monday or Tuesday. They also have drink and food basket specials so make sure to check those out when you are figuring out a good time to go. 

 In the spring/summer this is the perfect place to go, especially after getting off a long fun day at Lake Bryan. Also, depending on the night that you are there, they sometimes have concerts out on the deck. And, it is open so... GO CHECK IT OUT! 

#2 A&M vs UT

The long term rivalry between A&M and UT is something that is necessary to experience first hand when in College Station. It does not matter which sport you choose to watch, the competition is thrilling. Take for instance the basketball game on Monday night. The crowd at Reed Arena was fired up, and looking for their 4th win in a row against the Longhorns at home court. And how can you win with excitement like that behind you? You can't, which they proved Monday night. There are so many emotions attached when Longhorns come to town and if you spend time in College Station and never experience the true rivalry, you are missing out on one of the must do's in CS.

Nothing beats live music, and what better way to listen to live music in College Station than from fellow A&M graduates on Northgate? Emory Quinn puts on a great concert as they are a quickly rising band. Their music is fun to listen to, dance to, or just hang out and have a drink. Luckily for them, Schotzi's creates the perfect atmosphere for all three things. There is an inside and outside set up  depending on the weather to keep away from the extremely crowded atmosphere. Schotzi's convenient location on NG also makes it easy to come and go as you please, but with Emory Quinn playing, what other option is there?
