Morning Coffee

• Although there will be coffee at the meeting virtually all of the meeting times, we understand further needs
  may exist. Downtown State College has quite a few coffee shops and we recommend:
  Irving's (110 E. College Avenue)
  Webster's Bookstore Café (128 S. Allen Street)
  Panera Bread Company (148 S. Allen St)
  Saints Café (123 W. Beaver Avenue)
  Starbucks (232 W. College Avenue)
  
  On campus, there are coffee shops in the HUB, MacKinnon's Café (Pattee West Library), Reese's Café
  and Market (Information Sciences & Technology Building), Otto's Café (Kern Graduate Building),
  Blue Chip Bistro (Business Buidling), and the famous Berkey Creamery (see campus map).

Exercise

• If you are interested in running, the Penn State campus area is a popular place.
