Try something different
By SHARON KESSLER

So you're bored, tired of the same
old scene, and have deemed
Chapel Hill limited in the fun
department.
If so, there are some out-of-the-way
(and not-so-out-of-the-way)
places to visit before you grab that
Amtrak schedule.
B The Cave, on Franklin Street,-
is a small bar that frequently features
live local bands and has a pool table
and chess and backgammon as
permanent fixtures. A student who
frequents The Cave describes the
crowd as diverse a mix of local.
avant-garde types, and jaded frater-
nity brothers. "It's very non-
Spanky's," says one Delta Delta

B"Mugs Away Pub," located on
Franklin Street, and "Sidetrack
Taverns." on Main Street in Carr
boro. are both laid-back, low-key
places to eat, drink and play pool
and darts with friends. And, accord
ing to sophomore Jennifer Hill, they
are the current hotspots.
The "Hardback Cafe" is an easy
haven for yuppies and English
majors. Half bookstore, half restau
rant, the Hardback features sand-
whiches named after famous literary
figures, cappuchino coffee and liter
ary drinks. Yes, you can just get a
beer there. Ask the bar for the
"Hardback Toy Box," a shoebox full
of toys customers can play with while
they talk or wait. The owners also
bring in live music sometimes. Dexter
Romweber, formerly of the Flat Duo
jets, plays there often. Freshman
Mallory May enjoys "the melange of

the place as "nice."

Papagayo's is a place students tome
to sit back and relax. "Their 'mar
gueritas aren't bad either," junior
Beverley Lester says. And to j cater
to the late-night crowd, they've added
a new late night menu. j
The Flying Burrito is another
Mexican restaurant people seem to
be talking about. Freshman Laura
Ballance likes it "because they serve
their beer in mason jars." It is located
at the junction of Airport Road and
Hillsborough Street.

to night. There is no admission
charge; instead, "donations" are
accepted. No smoking or alcohol is
allowed. On some nights, topics are
circulated and discussed. On other
nights, the club has live music that
ranges in type from hardcore to
bluegrass. They also have Open
Night, where any musicians are
welcome to come and play. The Tin
Drum Theatre, an experimental
troupe of performers, has held
performances there as well. "It's
really what you'd call an anything
goes place." says freshman Josie
Maruiles.
B "Mariakakis,"" in Kroger's
Plaza, was mentioned as a favorite
by many students. Some describe the
atmosphere as "nothing special."
Junior Hamilton Holt goes there for
"the cheap food and the cute
waitresses."

If you have a car, the Fearington
Inn is a possibility. Located down 15
501. it is a bit out of the way, It is
a country inn and a farm. Sarah
Johnson, a freshman from Virginia, .
says, "They breed weird cows i all
furry and black with one white stripe
around the middle." j
But if money is running out j and
you don't want to go far, all you leed
at two places on Franklin Stnet is
quarters. The 25-cent Room in the
second-hand clothing store, "Time
after Time," is a shopper's haven. It
is a tiny room with a veritable
mountain of clothing in it, like jewels
in a pirate's treasure chest.
BLast but not least is the Barrel
of Fun. "It's neither a barret nor
fun," said one cynical junior. Sure
you've passed it; you probably
hurried past it too. But it's an
undeniable fact that nerdy things like
pinball parlours are sometimes fun
to go to.
