This is the second edition of “Little known places in Atchison”.
Enjoy and go explore Atchison.
1. Vintage Gypsy
This store is right across from another place on this list (Snowball) and is very unique. There are many random things in this store, from rosaries to candles and beads to make jewelry. Definitely an interesting place to pass time if not anything else.
2. Iron Horse
This is a really great barbecue restaurant in town, right across from the YMCA. It is almost hidden, you have to really work to find it if you want the food. But once you do find it, the food is amazing and will leave you smelling like barbecue for days to come (which is not a bad thing.)
3. Artist Box
I went into this store for just a little while but I wish I could’ve stayed longer. There are paintings and painted pottery for sale but they also have unpainted items that you can work on yourself in the back of the store. It is very unique and would be a really good place to spend an hour or a few getting creative!
4. Chuck and Hank’s
This restaurant is a mix between Mexican and barbecue food, which is probably the best combination there could possibly be. It is located down on the river and has very delicious food.
5. SnowBall
Ok so pretty much everyone knows about Snowball but I just thought I’d include it on the list for the few people who didn't know about it, plus its one of my favorite places off campus. Snowball serves icecream (duh) but also has a full menu of different meals and drinks you can get while studying in their large study space. They have FREE WIFI (the password is BestCoffee, you’re welcome) which really comes in handy when BC’s wifi is down. The people who work there are very friendly and it is a great place to go when you need good food/ to get off campus.
