This Friday, Oct. 6, from noon to 2 p.m., the Ohio University Alumni Association is hosting Food Truck Friday at the Konneker Alumni Center. Besides the easy access to a wide variety of food trucks — some of which aren’t always local to Athens — there are great incentives given out at the event as well. If you sign up for the Bobcat Network you’ll receive your choice of a free drink from Court Street Coffee or a free slice of pizza from A-Town Pies & Fries, while supplies last.
Wings Over’s Athens location is a chicken staple on Court Street. With its late-night hours on weekends, it also weaseled itself into the nightlife scene by being an easily accessible late-night snack. It has also just introduced its brand-new Cajun Garlic flavor which will only be available during the month of October. So, try it now while it lasts.
