After school, the students of River Hill often like to meet up with friends and hang out at the local businesses and shopping centers, with one of the most popular being Clarksville Commons. Clarksville Commons is a gathering space within walking distance of the school that offers a variety of food options, a decorative outdoor space, services such as a hair salon and orthodontist, as well as events throughout the year. One of the most unique aspects of the location has to be the Common Kitchen, an international food hall that supports several food vendors from a variety of cultures. Considering all the Commons has to offer, naturally, shopping there can become very pricey, especially for a high school student. This raises the question as to whether going to Clarksville Commons is actually worth it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Griffin Millstein strongly believes that it\u2019s not. \u201cIt\u2019s overpriced and the food\u2019s not even that good,\u201d he says. Citing his experience at the Common Kitchen\u2019s Tasty Empanadas restaurant for his claims. \u201cFifteen bucks for three empanadas is ridiculous,\u201d he explains, even going as far as to claim that \u201cthey\u2019re not even that good.\u201d Senior Veer Tuliani shares a similar experience with a Common Kitchen restaurant, Namaste Foodie, an Indian street food vendor. He explains how \u201cthe quality of the food just wasn\u2019t worth the price.\u201d Veer paid seven dollars for a mango lassi, a traditional Indian yogurt beverage usually served sweet or salty and \u201cit came in\u2026 an eight ounce cup and was way too salty,\u201d adding that \u201cnot even [his] friends could finish it.\u201d Despite his experience, Veer still enjoys going to the Commons with his friends. \u201cIt’s definitely overpriced, but I still enjoy the atmosphere and food options,\u201d he says, and others seem to agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior Luca Sambat says he \u201cenjoys the diversity of the food options,\u201d with the Manow Thai restaurant being his favorite. Manow Thai is a dine-in Thai restaurant located in Clarksville Commons. Luca enjoys this spot specifically because of the fair price. \u201cI like the egg fried rice, and I think it\u2019s decently priced,\u201d he explains. Other students like senior Zayan Foyez have also found restaurants within the Commons that are reasonably priced. \u201cI got a beef bulgogi bowl for fifteen bucks,\u201d he says. Further explaining how \u201cit might seem overpriced but the portion was massive, so I\u2019m not upset.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems like the students of River Hill can agree that Clarksville Commons can be a hit or miss, but despite this factor, that doesn\u2019t stop the loyal supporters of the area. Luca believes that \u201cthe price can be much at times,\u201d but that hasn\u2019t stopped him from coming there with friends. Senior Gregory Park agrees, adding that, \u201cit’s still a nice place to hang out.\u201d Despite the price, Clarksville Commons has become a staple in the Clarksville area and will continue to be one the most popular spots near the school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
