The largest collection of Egyptian artifacts west of the Mississippi, and has a replica of a tomb built inside the museum. Really cool place, great for adults and kids alike.

Tasty Mediterranean food at reasonable prices. Not much ambiance, so I usually get the food to go and bring it home.

Essentials

Conveniently located grocery store. It's a smaller store that caters a lot to the SCU students, but it is convenient. There's a Starbucks inside.
