Some of the best
parts of Bryan-College Station are fairly obvious. Downtown Bryan has historic
charm and plenty of quirky shops and restaurants. The college, the sports
arenas, and city hall are all easy to find. But look a little deeper and you’ll
find even more BCS gems, even if they’re not at the top of the “things to do”
list. Here are some local favorites:
Amico Nave
Amico Nave is a
local restaurant that’s a little hidden away from the center of everything, but
locals who know of it swear by it. In fact, lifestyle blogger Payton Sartain says, “You MUST try
Amico Nave if you live here.” Amico Nave is a Sicilian restaurant, but it’s not
bound to traditional Sicilian recipes. Here you can try their pesto chicken or
vodka sauce pizza, lasagna Tony Salvaggio or Norwegian salmon. They also have a
delicious plate of shrimp and grits.
Old Bryan Marketplace
Downtown and
historic Bryan are famous spots for shopping, but Old Bryan Marketplace is a
little more lowkey. However, if you’re looking for something quirky and
offbeat, this is the place to go. This marketplace has a little of everything:
furniture, baby clothes, stationery, and eclectic fashion. Even the building
itself has character, a 22,000 square-foot structure originally built in 1908
with pine hardwood floors, bricked archways and fireplaces.
Tower Point
Most who are new to
College Station expect to find all the action around the college, but if you’re
looking for a real local experience, it’s Tower Point. Here you can find H-E-B,
Chick-Fil-A, office buildings and an abundance of other beloved shops and
restaurants. You may be able to find some great homes and apartments in this
area, as well.
Rooftop Garden
This hidden gem, on
the other hand, is located on the
college campus. At the top of the George P. Mitchell Physics Building, you can
find the only rooftop garden on campus, the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Garden. Not
only is this a serene place to get away, study, or hang out with friends, but
it showcases a number of native Texas plants. You may even spy some butterflies while you’re up there.
Wednesday Farmers Market at Lake Walk
Looking for some
local produce, culture, and maybe live music? Then check out the farmers market
at Lake Walk Pavilion and Plaza in Bryan on Wednesday nights. It’s not the only
farmers market in Bryan-College Station, but
because it takes place on Wednesday nights, it can be overlooked. If you
can make it out, you can find food from Napa Flats and anything from eggs to
jams and jellies to candles.
Bryan-College
Station is a community with a lot of local flavor. Even if you’ve lived here
for a few years, you may still be able to find new gems that surprise you. And
if you’re new to the community, there’s that much more to explore. Ask your local realtor about the best hidden gems in
the city, and the best homes you can find close by.
