With lunch specials that are insane, Silver is great for anyone looking for a cheap date spot close to campus. Remember, it’s not how much you spend, but the quality of each other’s company that matters. Sappy, we know.

Who doesn’t like ice cream? Satisfy your date’s sweet tooth with Ici’s selection of artisanal flavors and homemade cones. If all goes well, the chocolate scoop isn’t the only sweet thing that’ll happen that night.
