Best sushi in town. Reasonably priced for the quality and service. Tuesdays and Thursdays, any roll for $11. Normal roll prices range from $6-15. Also, some AMAZING hibachi-style dining.

Try the volcano soup or the Kool special. Tiny place, but worth the wait. Only open weekdays and there is a break in service between lunch and dinner (all Thai restaurants in town have this custom)

Doesn't look like much, but they're really great and friendly. Skip the fried rice, but order anything else on the menu. Shrimp egg rolls and volcano soup are my favorite. Open on the weekends.

Sightseeing

Second largest University in the U.S. based on size. Really neat place to be, and there is always something going on here. (Art shows, comedians, concerts, etc.)

Bring some carrots and a camera with you to feed the wild prairie dogs. They're adorable. I would say "don't feed the wildlife," but if you do, try not to give them junk food.

Pretty large museum with a planetarium. Free to all visitors--has dinosaurs, history, and pretty much something for everyone in your group. I love coming here.

This is where I go to see movies any time I can. It is $6 for 2 new release films, and the 50's style cafe is pretty nice (with prices that don't destroy your wallet).

Everything Else

This is one of my favorite parks besides Mackenzie park. Just a nice calm place to look at and feed the geese or ducks when they are going south.

Nice park that has a lot of dog owners. Do not let your dog off its leash here or you may get a fine. Unfortunately, Lubbock has no dog parks.

This is probably where you are going to land. You can rent a car here, or let me know when you'll get here, and we can arrange a pick up for a small fee.

The cheapest grocery store in town that is not Walmart. Their selection is somewhat limited, but has everything you might need if you're not brand picky. Try the pumpkin empanadas and fresh horchata
