Damn straight 57th Street rules! It is the greatest bookstore on the face of the planet, especially in conjunction with the Seminary Co-op close by on University and 58th. The student center is called the Reynolds Club, and it's where University Theater is. There is an "official" U of C bookstore, but it's a B&N and everybody spends all their real book money at the others.

If you end up making this a bigger list, I can provide a metric ton of amazing restaurants in all areas and price ranges too!
