It's two weeks into the semester, and you're a freshman still studying a now-faded campus map in a desperate attempt to find the way from the Quad to DRL C12 for that 9 a.m. recitation. Or you're an upperclassman just realizing the Museum has classrooms. Let's face it: we could all use a re-orientation. Though our map won't reveal the quickest route between Commons and the Engineering Quad, it will clue you into what is truly integral to guiding yourself at Penn. And tomorrow when you head out in the morning rush, you'll be cooler, wiser and slightly less broke. even if you still can't find Goddard Labs.

The Fresh Grocer, affectionately dubbed FroGro (not to be confused with Marathon Grill's beloved fro yo), may seem like your standard overpriced neighborhood supermarket at first glance, but it's a store that knows its clientele. Let's face it, who other than cheap, lazy and inebriated college students would shell out a few bucks for day-old pizza and fried chicken? In a scheme students call "midnight madness," the grocery's prepared-foods section sells its leftovers at discounted prices after 12 a.m. And that's not FroGro's only dollar deal. If you don't feel like walking to the Video Library at 41st and Locust, check out the RedBox next to the store's entrance for a selection of $1 DVD rentals that pop out vending machine-style. Of course, FroGro is stocked with most of the basics, too. Just don't make the mistake of trying to wheel a grocery cart full of ice and mixers back to your high rise apartment when you're too lazy to carry the bags - the carts are equipped with security locks to prevent theft.
