On Friday’s, everyone goes to the plaza down the street, the Peninsula Shopping Center. There are many places , but where to go? Some options include Starbucks, Marinara, Burger King, Carvel, Moca, but the most popular ones are Burger King, Starbucks, and Marinara. Those who choose to visit Burger King say it’s their favorite place to go. Burger King consists of about at least 2 dozen or more people every Friday. The fast food restaurant appeals to a majority of 7th graders at WMS.
Others are loving Starbucks. On Fridays, the store is jam packed with people waiting in line to get their favorite drink . According to delish.com, the three most popular drinks are the Pumpkin Spice Latte, White Chocolate Mocha, and the Salted Caramel Mocha . All drinks are offered in four sizes; tall (12 oz), grande (16 oz), venti (24 oz) and trenta (31 oz) all offered at varying prices. There are two ways to order your drinks, food, snacks, and merchandise. You can either sign up for the Starbucks app and get a credit/debit card to order online which is more efficient compared to the other method which is waiting on the super long line of people waiting for service.
If you prefer something more on the savory side, then Marinara is the place to be. There are a variety of delicious meals to pick from such as pizza, garlic knots, and meatball or chicken heroes. There are many classic favorites the restaurant offers such as cheese pizza, pepperoni pizza, or a meatball pizza. You can also get a variety of toppings on your pizza such as veggies, BBQ chicken, and extra cheeses. There are many drinks to choose from as well such as Mountain Dew, Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, and Sprite.
