Cedars, February 2018

February 2018 7 ANALYSIS Taking that information into account, Cedars has developed six off-campus date spot suggestions to help up the game for date location-hunting. The Book Loft of German Village As one of the largest independent book- stores in the nation, The Book Loft has 32 rooms of shelves that are overflowing with books of all genres: classics, non-fiction, fantasy, science fiction, and more. If you’re not interested in a sit-down kind of dating experience, you and your date could easi- ly spend hours exploring all the nooks and crannies of this building. Plus, you can pick up some bargain books that will make great conversation pieces for future dates. Thai Nine If you decide to take your date to a for- mal dinner, try Dayton’s Thai Nine. Menu options range from your typical Pad Thai entrée, to diverse sushi rolls, and duck cur- ry. The restaurant provides an intimate ta- ble setting surrounded by traditional Thai decorations. This gives you the opportunity to learn more about Thailand customs while treating your date to an exquisite dinner. Guerra’s Krazy Taco This small restaurant has been rated as one of the best taco places in the Springfield area. Guerra’s Krazy Taco is a couple steps up from your typical Taco Bell. It has numer- ous specialty tacos ranging from simple beef and cheese to teriyaki chicken, pineapple and cucumber. The exterior of the restaurant is rustic and authentic Springfield, but the inside is rarely crowded and has conversa- tion-starter-worthy decorations. Bada Bing! Pizzeria If your date prefers pizza to tacos, Bada Bing! Pizzeria in Springfield is a great option. The pizzeria offers artisan gourmet pizza at affordable prices, with topping combinations ranging from classic Hawaiian to big Philly style, Popeye, Angry Birds and Mona Lisa. Ghostlight Coffee Located in the historic South Park dis- trict in Dayton, Ghostlight Coffee serves numerous coffee beverages, teas, hot choc- olate, and pastries. The interior of the cof- fee shop has exposed brick and comfortable lighting, giving it an old, warm house kind of feel. Plus, the coffee is always ethically sourced. *Editor-in-Chief Approved* Columbus Coffee Trail Why settle for just one coffee shop when you can visit several throughout Co- lumbus through the Columbus Coffee Trail? The trail experience allows you and your date to visit a variety of coffee shops in Columbus and earn a T-shirt. You need to order from five of the 23 participating cof- fee shops in the area to complete the tour. The list of coffee shops is available at www. cbuscoffee.com . Ask for a Coffee Tour card at the first shop you visit and be sure to get it stamped at each of the other stops. After filling out your card, visit the Convention Center to receive the graphic T-shirt com- memorating your caffeinated journey. Kettering Ice Arena Maybe you and your date want to par- ticipate in a winter activity instead of the cliché coffee date. Try getting out on the ice at The Kettering Ice Arena in Dayton. The arena offers skate rentals, lockers, and a concession area. Plus, if you think a group date would be more comfortable if it’s a first date, or you want your date to meet your friends, the arena offers a group discount if your group is more than eight people. Cedarville University couples aren’t limited to dating on- campus or at a pseudo- on-campus location like Beans and Cream or Telemetry. This Valentine’s season, take the initiative to suggest someplace new. Rebekah Erway is a senior Christian ed- ucation major and campus editor for Ce- dars.
