Locally known as "The Ave", University Way NE is the heart of the University District's commerce area. This busy strip of retail stores, restaurants, vintage-clothing shops, and cafes is a great destination if you want to get cozy with the University of Washington's student populace. Check out The Red Light and Buffalo Exchange for great second-hand shopping, The Tea Republic for a huge variety of tea options, and Thaiger Room or Araya's Vegetarian Place Thai for a savory meal.
