Student-friendly restaurants, stores, etc. near campus?

<p>My niece will matriculate at UW@Madison in the fall. For her high school graduation next month I had the idea to give her gift certificate(s) to fun, local, "only in Madison" shops, restaurants, etc. So if you are a student there or hail from there, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much in advance,</p>

<p>Wow- quite a comprehensive list of many good places. She would have no problem finding ways to spend the money on State St! Great idea.</p>

<p>Thank you so much, Transfer! Great link! And thanks for your encouragement, wis75 :-) . I think this will make a nice gift for my niece.</p>
