School is stressful, tiring and all around mentally draining. Where can you go during the day or the weekends to relax your brain, hang with friends and have something to eat? There are many options and some are good and some not so much. Here are some go-to locations for when you want an escape to enjoy being a teenager.

Got an off campus pass but don’t like spending money? Lucky for you there are more than forty restaurants within a mile radius of the school so you have many options to choose from even when on a budget:
