re: Places recommended in Tuscaloosa

University Blvd & 4th st have a ton of cool bars. On gameday it's all a hot spot. The stadium is right next to the bars. I really like Innisfree and Gallettes. Eating wise, nothing too special. I'd listen to other peoples recs on that.

If you want to see some natural beauty, do a little bit of hiking, just north of the river in the Lake Tuscaloosa/Lake Nichol area there are some neat little trails people made. Maybe a Bama poster could give you a more precise location. Nothing crazy but still nice to do.
