University City Taking a break in University City? By trolley, train, bus, or car, University City is a lot closer than you think. Maximize your outing with these must-dos, all of which take up very little time and show off the quick fun that University City has to offer.

In need of a speedy lunch? The Blue Demon Express Lunch at Distrito will zip you through two courses for $15, beverage included. The colorful cantina from Jose Garces guarantees a prompt lunch service, so you can still fit some shrimp ceviche and carnitas tacos into your tight schedule. Vámonos!

When is the last time you've played Skee-ball? It's been an exceedingly long time, but you can always find your childhood favorite at University Pinball, where you can roll a few games in minutes. Quick history fact? Skee-ball was actually invented in Philadelphia.

University Pinball, 4008 Spruce St

Stop by the Green Line Cafe for...an espresso! You don't have time for that leisurely coffee. The Green Line Cafe has three locations in University City, so chances are, you're only a few blocks away from one. You can also hit up the Hub Bub Truck, which pulls shots of Stumptown's Hairbender, for an immediate fix.

Green Line Cafe, 4239 Baltimore Avenue (check site for other locations)

Hub Bub Truck, 38th between Spruce and Locust

Hub Bub Truck Hit up any of the food trucks if you are really short on time. They're quick, cheap, and delicious, and University City's food cart culture is one of the most diverse and largest offered in the country. You can find almost anything and there are plenty of benches and outdoor spaces where you can enjoy your food. From falafel carts to taco trucks to mobile creme brulee purveyors, the options are endless.

Food Truck Dining Guide

Wanna see something cool? The Institute of Contemporary Art is a smallish museum/gallery spot that always has contemporary art exhibits worth checking out from emerging artists. It's not very big, so you can go in and get a few minutes of inspiration without committing to a few hours.
