They have amazing caramel vanilla lattes, and it goes so well with their avocado toast. Midnight Coffee has quickly become a staple in our study habits.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Sunday Flea Markets:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe flea markets here truly have something for everyone. There are places to find clothes, crafts, candles, pottery, and more. I recently got a bookmark and a sweatshirt from the flea market that I love dearly. On top of all the cool stuff you can find there, it&#8217;s always nice to spend a Sunday walking around downtown with your friends. I definitely recommend going to at least one!<\/p>\n<p><strong>K-bap:<\/strong><br \/>\nI discovered this little restaurant inside the Old Capitol Mall while attending orientation this summer. When I&#8217;m having a rough day, and the food in the dining hall is just unappetizing after eating it all the time, I go straight to K-bap to have a delicious and comforting meal. I am a firm believer that there are very few problems a good, warm meal can&#8217;t fix.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Blick Art Store:<\/strong><br \/>\nI have always been and always will be an artistic person, so having an art store nearby has been a lot of fun. Even though I don&#8217;t buy stuff every single time I go in the store, I often get inspired just by walking through it. They also have a student discount if you sign up with them!<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to continuing to explore Iowa City. I&#8217;ve only been here for two months, but it&#8217;s already feeling like my home. If you&#8217;re ever feeling bored, check out any or all of these spots around the city.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day, everyone, and I&#8217;ll see you all next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
