Staff and faculty are welcome, as always, at campus dining commons, which are all open as of today (Sept. 20). But come tomorrow, our food and beverage options will multiply, in campus-run facilities and the ASUCD Coffee House, and from a half-dozen food trucks. Plus, what’s the news about napkins? See the answer in the box below.

Here are the openings set for Wednesday (Sept. 21) in campus-run facilities:

• Silo Market & Deli (South Silo)
• Crêpe Bistro (Silo)
• The Gunrock restaurant and bar (Silo)

Two other platforms are already open: Swirlz (coffee, baked goods and smoothies), which did not close for summer; and Ciao (pizza by the slice), which reopened during Summer Session II.

NAPKIN NEWS

The biggest news from Dining Services does not have anything to do with food or beverages! In the interest of sustainability, Dining Services has replaced paper napkins with reusable linen napkins in the dining commons, becoming one of the first universities in the nation to make this transition.
