If you’re going to mention Playland you have to mention Campus Casino too.

The Saloon! Got thrown out of there on my 21st after puking in the trough urinal. Had the wherewithal to let the bouncer know “I’ve been kicked out of nicer places than this” as i was being escorted out.
Don't forget Suzy Wongs. My standard lunch for years was a ham n cheese on an onion bagel with an egg roll on the side.
Thanks.... that's it's. I still have fishing stuff I bought there in the early 70s!!!
Cc Peppers
Can’t remember what I ate there ?
Can’t remember if it was good ?
Only remember that I ate there
Got me, I am old, I could have said Pops Mexi Hots.^^^ Mark this under "ways to tell people you're old without telling them you're old"
I remember: I always ordered the Super Special Cosmo with Mushrooms and The Works
2x each of ham, turkey, roast beef, and aged provolone...broiled
The grease rolled down my arms. It was glorious.
When serving each person individual pitchers mixed with 12 types of bottom shelf liquor, what do they expect.
You know what - I did get some sort of Cosmo - just a little too many sheets to the wind
to remember exactly which one 
How about Joey Z's? Nice-ish Italian place. The owner was a pretty good guy who came to speak at the entrepreneur club I was part of for a few years. Encouraged people to chase their dreams.
On a non-food note, how about Nittany Notes where you could buy class notes for classes you missed when you were "sick".

The Scorpion, when you wanted to hear rock n roll bands and dance with beautiful college girls.
Used to frequent there. Went to Gatsby’s for Nickelodeon night. One very large pitcher of beer for $3.20 and a second for a nickel.
Pedro’s for late night Mexican food.
I feel like I had a love-hate relationship with the Scorpion, but I can’t really why.
I was just scanning the board to see if anyone mentioned Pop's. Man i bought a lot of those. A coupe of things. I heard that some restaurant serves the same recipe but I don't know if they are also out of business. Someone on here at this site had the recipe and sent it to me or posted it. I've been making that sauce ever since
and of course the [2 drink max]"Agent Orange" if not that you could always get a fishbowl
If you happen to work there Betty always gave us free food to take home, I had to commit to Friday nights so I could have Saturdays off for the game
they also had this rickety half delivery/freight truck at their disposal to deliver lunch, [eons] before Doordash, that thing was a stick and nothing like driving that around deliver lunch to the office personnel on campus
during the summer they had plenty of work to support all the summer camp kids
Anyone remember the house with all of the 'monks'...no idea now if they were Moonies or Krishnas or whatever. They had a vegetarian meal one night a week. There were a few times back then when my roommates and I were so hungry that we attended. The food was good. You just had to endure a short speech and some weird dancing, singing, and tambourines. Ah, college...
We sound like grumpy old men ...... wait, never mind.Everything sucks now.
I got tossed out of Bar Anticipation in Belmar, NJ on my 21st birthday after a few beers and a few Mind Erasers. Bartender looked at my friends and said, “Get him out, he’s about to throw up.” And as a friend was driving me home, I did. Projectile, out the passenger window as the car was moving.
Gus's cheese steaks in the 1960s will always be on my heart. His secret sauce made his sandwiches # 1No, not Joe, this time.
Chicken Cosmo: Gone
Ye Olde College Diner and Grilled Stickies: Gone
Baby’s: Gone
The Deli: Gone
Donuts To Go and Chocolate Bismarcks: Gone
Bubba’s Breakaway: Gone

Is there an on-going conspiracy to get rid of all the good food at PSU? I bet there is. We need a sleuth.
Hub Lawn is pretty much gone too.
$2 Long Island Ice Teas on Weds nights.
I used to play club soccer there (International Soccer Club). I think at one point it was the "women's athletic field".
I am pretty sure Meyer Dairy was the one the picked up the Mexi-hots. I can't speak to the authenticity but pretty sure that was where they went.
I tended bar at the Phyrst from 1990 until 1998. There was a period where Ernie went to a bar in Florida and they had free popcorn, so he bought a popcorn machine, and we had to make free popcorn for about two years. When he sold the bar near the end of my time there the new owner threw out the popcorn machine. People came back that fall complaining how it was tradition to come to the Phyrst and have popcorn. I just shook my head.
I've been here since 1990, and and I think you are exaggerating how much of the HUB lawn has been lost since then.

I Hawaii 5 0 ‘d there at least 10 times after graduation wonder if you beered me up? (86-94)
I logged a lot of hours so I was likely there.
The sandwich man used bring his food in a big basket. His roast beef sandwich was very good and very cheap.
Cc peppers, they took that away too!!!No, not Joe, this time.
