The Black Cypress Restaurant in Pullman


For those of you WSU students with a more sophisticated taste for good food and fine wine, Black Cypress located on Main Street in downtown Pullman is definitely your scene. Their small, yet exquisite menu offers food items unlike anywhere else in Pullman.

What is Their Menu Like?
Their menu is full of mainly Greek-style food, and the owner even cooked in Greece! Appetizers range from $4 - $11, not bad at all, especially for the quality. Some items on their appetizer list are Souvlakia (pork skewers) (7), clams (11) and the good ol' (but much better) Caesar salad (5/8). Entrees start off at a measly $11 for the pomodora (a better version of spaghetti) or with meatballs for $14. The last time I visited, I ordered the myzithra and mushrooms, which was a pasta with brown butter, myzithra cheese and mushrooms (13). It was to die for. But if you're not much of a pasta person there are also a variety of meat as well. Lamb chops (21) or pork chops (19), New York or rib eye steak (24), roasted chicken (19) or grilled tofu (14). Needless to say, there are many items to choose from!


One of the walls in the restaurant is completely covered with different sized mirrors.
Bring on the Drinks!
The Black Cypress offers some of the most original and mouth-watering cocktails I've seen on the Palouse. They definitely have a little something for everyone; and the great part is, each one is between $7 - $8, what a steal! My personal favorites are the arlo and mojito, and you can check out the whole cocktail list on their website at www.theblackcypress.com to see what's in every magical cocktail. There are even great whiskey, gin, rum and Bourbon cocktails on the list: I know where I'm taking my dad for dad's weekend! For those of you wine connoisseurs out there, Black Cypress is a great place to go for fabulous wine. They offer great local wines from Washington, Oregon and California, and also wine from all over the world. They even have my favorite wine, Maryhill Pinot Gris from the Columbia valley!

Very quaint, yet old-style decor

So if you're looking for a little different atmosphere from the usual Pullman restaurants and bars, look no further. The Black Cypress Bar and Kitchen offers one of Pullman's most unique ambiances and experience you could ever imagine.

Girls' (and guys') day out at Identity Day Spa!







A lot of people feel there aren't a variety of different kinds of activities available in, or close to Pullman. However, a Identity Salon and Day Spa proves them wrong! Although Identity is one of the only spas in Pullman and the immediate surrounding areas, they still have reasonable prices for nearly every college student's budget.

Identity also offers body waxing (for every body part), and indoor tanning as well. They have full body, aroma therapy, maternity, hot stone, facials, Swedish, and many other specified massages which I have been lucky enough to receive! Everyone deserves a massage once in a while.

Prices at Identity range from $25 - $140, so yes, their services do add up fast!

Monday Night is the NEW Date Night

Dating on a college budget can be tricky. When planning date nights with the usual dinner and a movie you are looking at spending up to $75+ on two nice entrees, appetizers, drinks, two movie tickets, and then the $15 your spending on satisfying your popcorn and candy fix. Luckily for you, Fireside Grille in Pullman has created a deal to help college students on a budget.

What is this money saving deal?
At Fireside Grille, you will receive a $4.00 movie ticket when you purchase an entree of $10+! This will be saving you about $6.00 on a movie ticket which is about $12.00 on a date night, while still making you look thoughtful and sweet to splurge on dinner and a movie with your date!

What type of food can fit into my budget?
I would recommend...
  •  Bruschetta for $6.00 
  • Fish and Chips for the entree- $10.50
                  OR
  • Any of their personal size rustic pizza for $11.50 (California Club, BBQ Chicken, Hawaiian, and The Works) all of which are AMAZING
  • Skip dessert and soda for the movie concession stand
DINNER TOTAL:  $28.00 for two amazing meals
MOVIE TOTAL: $8.00 for two movie tickets


What to do at the movie theater for snacks and drinks?
I personally recommend
  • Go to the dollar store and each pick out your favorite candy, it comes in KING SIZE and is only $1.00 each
  • I also would recommend each getting a soda as well for an addition $2.00
  • At the movie theater the concessions are decently priced in Pullman with the most expensive jumbo popcorn at only $5.00, I recommend the medium for only $3.50
SNACK TOTAL: $10.00

Grand Total for a Date Night Out for TWO: 
$46.00 saving you about $30-40 on a night out

Remember to skip where you can and allow your date to have a great time while saving your wallet and bank account from taking a hit.

**Remember ladies it is not always the guys job to pay, if he buys dinner and the tickets offer to buy the snacks it will take him off guard and score you some nice brownie points! HOWEVER if he refuses twice DO NOT PUSH THIS! Acknowledge his kindness and tease it is your treat next time :)
