You have a historic river instead of a salty ocean. And maple trees instead of that irritating sand. It’s a recipe for a pretty nice spring break! Staying in town comes with two advantages:
- It’s less expensive.
- There’s not a huge crowd of tourists.
Here are our suggestions for making the most of your time away from classes.
Blow off some steam
You’ve most likely spent the last week or two writing papers and cramming for midterms. Now it’s time to catch up on fun. We suggest live music, dancing and drinks (if you’re over 21). Our top picks:
- Downtown Cape
- Isle Casino Cape Girardeau
- A winery

- Locally owned cafes
- Fine dining
- Sweet treats
