As a Don, one of the things we are responsible for is developing and facilitating programs that meet the needs of students and provide students with a secure foundation for their transition and growth into university life. The Dons of Activities ran a FANTATIC event this past Friday called the Café Crawl and I was blown away with how amazing it was!
Singing our hearts out
During the Café Crawl, we explored the ‘classier’ and ‘sophisticated’ side of St. Catherines, that’s what I like to say! When we got to the meeting spot that was on residence before heading out, we were given free coffee mugs, and $3 coupons to get food and drinks at the different cafés! Then, we took the 116 bus downtown which picks you up right from Brock’s Tower and only takes about 10-15 minutes to get there. Once there, we traveled around to 4 different cafés, Coffee Culture, The Fine Grind, The Irresistible Bean and Mahtay, and the great part was they were all only a 2 minute walk from each other. They even had activities at each café we could participate in from trivia to coffee tasting to live music to karaoke!
My favourite Café of the night was called “Mahtay”! It has the BEST Chai Tea Lattes I have ever tasted and their unique apple jam on their Chicken Apple Sandwich was to die for…I’m craving one right now just talking about it! It was a perfect night and a really great way to enjoy the region I live in. As I mentioned in a previous blog, it is important when choosing a university to make sure you enjoy not only the campus of the school but also the surrounding region because you will be there for the next 4 years or more of your life! I definitely realized how much I love St. Catharines that night!
