Many music-lovers probably have a list of bands they secretly wish to become friends with, or at least say, “Great set, you’re awesome!” after seeing them live.

With a name like Beaver Choice, this college-student-targeted restaurant review could write itself. Luckily, the Scandinavian eatery doesn’t require you to take it seriously — only that you love to eat and enjoy the absurd friendliness of its staff.
