There are many pleasant routes through campus, town, and nearby meadows and woods. For eight weeks during the summer there are all-comers' track meets on the PSU outdoor track. Food and Footwear Downtown State College is a real college town with the sort of small shops you'd expect, concentrated along College Avenue between South Allen Street and Garner Street. Nearby popular and inexpensive restaurants include the Corner Room, Irving's Bagels, Panera, the Green Bowl, and Spats. The Tavern is a nice place for dinner.
Casual attire is fine for any restaurant in town.
