MSU's Grand River Shops and Restaurants
As an MSU student, East Lansing has made quite a home for you during your education. So what’s there to do? We hear that all the time. That’s why we’ve created a pretty sweet East Lansing lifestyle list of what to do, where to shop, dine and what to see. We want to give you the ins and outs to make your college experience complete. See something that we’ve missed? Please share it with us so we can add it to our ongoing list. We love to hear about the small “hole in the wall” restaurant that serves the best food you’ve ever tasted.
Thank you East Lansing for helping us make our MSU student apartments more than a home.

On a college budget finding the cash to treat your boyfriend or girlfriend can be quite a challenge. That being said, the dinner and a movie date doesn’t have to die with the rising prices. Introducing, for Michigan State Student’s pleasure, (cue the drum roll) a new date concept: Tuesday is the new Friday.
Cheap dinner and a movie date for MSU students
As students we don’t have a five star salary so most of us can’t afford five star restaurants. We can however, afford a quality meal from time to time. Take Applebee’s for instance. Applebee’s has a fantastic special going on now called “2 for 20″. For $20 bucks you and your date can share an appetizer and two full size entrees. My recommendation go with the spinach and artichoke dip to start. It’s delicious. Next, for your main course you get a choice of twelve different items such as a 7 oz. sirloin stake or three cheese chicken penne pasta (again, a couple of my favorites). Normally this meal would run you approximately $28. Blogger amount saved: $8.00.
Also, on Tuesday (aka the new Friday) East Lansing’s NCG Cinema sells movie tickets for only $5.00 per person with a valid MSU Student ID or School ID. On your typical Friday night date these tickets can be as high as $8.50 per person. Blogger amount saved: $7.00.
Think of it this way, by switching your date night from Friday to Tuesday you can save $15.00. That nearly pays for next week’s date night.
