Brief Guide to Columbia & Mid-MO
Food Scene
Carlito's is located just a few blocks from the apartment and features a drive-thru right off business loop. Great alternative to the fast food joints along that road.
Family owned & operated (check website for limited hours) with fresh Mexican/Peruvian foods. The Lomo Saltado is my favorite!

Alright, so Med Mex is actually on the other side of town, but it's DELISH + delivery available. Like the name hints, you can get mexican tacos, tortas, and a hummus plate on the same table at Med Mex. Try it out. You'll be full of yummy food by the end of the meal.

Columbia's most famous pizzeria, winner of many "best pizzeria/restaurant in a college town" contests over almost 50 years of business. The large is huge and every pizza is covered in toppings! Check the menu for classic creations or choose your own toppings for a specialty pie.
Remember to take home a genuine Shakespeare's Cup and grab a few free stickers, maybe even buy a tie-dye Shakes shirt while you're there. (There's even Sparky's ice cream in the cooler, in case you're too full to walk down 9th St. to the ice cream parlor.)

Local ice cream parlor! Open late-night and year-round with inventive flavors! The line can get loooooooong in the summer so prepare to wait outside and bring a mask to keep the ice cream servers safe from COVID! (They've had to close down a few times because so many staff were out sick, so help us keep the best ice cream spot open for the rest of the summer.)
