Sure!  I don't have any transportation but the student bus system,
so I'd prefer somewhere near to campus if possible.  If you're
in for a light meal, there are plenty of coffee shops (like, eight or
so) within about 100 yards of campus; if not, there are some Thai
restaurants and a Japanese teahouse on Guadalupe street right
near campus.  Any other preferences?

No, they're there -- at least those that I've seen.  Besides
seeing the mass of them down on Congress street, it's also
neat to see them in the flood lights above the state Capitol
and the UT Tower while they're feasting on insects.
