Want a cool place to eat and hang out that isn't going to kill your wallet?
Try these tested
youth-friendly places:
Heritage Coffee Company

(Between the library and the movie theater downtown)
OR
5th Street (Across from Wells Fargo and next to Subway downtown)
Hours: 6am to 7pm Monday through Friday
What
it offers: Heritage is a hotspot to hang out at if you enjoy soft leather couches, hot, caffeinated (or not) drinks
and wireless internet.

Hours: These can be tricky. Usually
open between 11am or 11:30am and 2:30am or 3am.
What it offers: If you find yourself out of your
house late at night, and you have a craving for Indie music (or any of the hundreds of vinyl records), spicy (or not!), beef
(or potato!) dumplings and a relaxed open environment, this is the place for you!
Costa's Diner
Location: Across from Pel' Meni in the Merchant's Wharf
Hours: Usually
breakfast and lunch hours.
What it offers: Costa's is the ultimate choice restaurant. There is no real menu,
so you tell the cook what you want and she cooks it. There is not exactly a set price either, so you pay as you can.
Wild
Spice
Location: Up the hill from the downtown McDonalds, on the same side of the street and
on the same block. 140 Seward St.
Hours: 11am to 9pm Sunday through Thursday, 11am to 10pm Friday and
Saturday.

price, you get a bowl. There is a buffet-style line you walk through, and stuff your bowl with noodles, sauces, and raw foods.
Hand your mound over to the cooks and watch them cook it up for you in a matter of minutes.
