Now that the sun is shining and we can finally see the grass again, it’s time to get into the warm-weather spirit. With your sunglasses on your head, your Sperrys on your feet, and your tummy begging for some refreshing treats – here are our top favorite cold beverages and snacks to help you through the end of the year:
1) Dairy Bar Ice Cream
Time to try the Sesquicentennial new flavor: Sweet CORNell. It’s made with REAL CORN, so it definitely counts for your daily dose of vegetables…right?

2) Smoothie from Mac’s

This treasure of a lunch spot located deep within the Statler contains some of the most delicious smoothies you will ever get your hands on. Grab a smoothie, sit outside, and enjoy the beautiful weather.
3) Granita from Manndible’s

Feeling adventurous? Try a granita. This iced coffee beverage will surely give you your necessary study pick-me-up! Just don’t drink it too quickly or you might get a brain freeze.
4) Bubble Tea in Collegetown

With so many flavor options and a refreshingly sweet taste, this is the perfect beverage for May. Get it to-go and frolick around Collegetown for a bit.
5) Iced Tea from Libe Cafe
Lastly, we suggest you enjoy a wonderful cup of iced tea from Libe Cafe as a study break. Sit by the window and people-watch or leave the cafe and take a pleasant stroll around the Arts Quad. The choice is yours.
We hope that these suggestions help you make the most of the warm weather we almost never see here at Cornell. We hear Ithaca is gorgeous this time of year…
