Find things to do on ‘The Guide’

Friday, January 16, 2009

When the weekend arrives, the question regularly arises: What is there to do?

The University Daily Kansan’s advertising staff can now help answer that question.

Wednesday night, the student-run staff launched “The Guide,” a new feature on Kansan.com where students can find information about bars, restaurants and local events.

“We’ve been working on it for a year and a half,” said Laura Vest, business manager for the Kansan. “It’s for students and created by students.”

On the site, students can sort their restaurant searches by cuisine type, price range and location. Other searches include whether a restaurant accepts Beak ‘Em Bucks or offers take-out and delivery. The site also has applications for Facebook and iPhone.
