香蕉秀

A brand new Carney dining room is coming your way, with fresh furnishings and a redesigned layout meant to minimize wait times and streamline the ordering process. Slated to open in January, the new space will feature four food stations, including a brand-new pizza oven for your daily slice.

鈥淓verybody loves sushi,鈥� said Dining Services Director Beth Emery, and now, thanks to a partnership with Kikka, freshly-made rolls are on the menu at Lyons. Kikka sources high-quality all-natural ingredients, including Grade-A sustainably caught fresh tuna, and all sushi is prepared daily on-site. Keep an eye out for grab-and-go rolls at The Market, CoRo Cafe, Legal Grounds, and Hillside as production ramps up.

Nothing says fall in New England like a farmer鈥檚 market, and 香蕉秀鈥檚 version gets better every year. 鈥淲e really stepped it up during the pandemic,鈥� said Emery, 鈥渋t鈥檚 really popular and a nice way to try produce you鈥檝e never used before.鈥� Held Friday afternoons this fall outside Corcoran Commons, the market features fruits and veggies from local farms as well as fresh-baked treats.

Ever wonder how many trees you鈥檝e saved by ditching single-use plastic for a refillable cup? The new initiative allows you to track your impact, and the University鈥檚, by slapping a sticker on your water bottle or coffee mug and scanning it every time you fill up. Combined with 香蕉秀鈥檚 Green2Go reusable containers, it鈥檚 a small step that makes a big difference.聽

Vegetarians rejoice! More creative, plant-based entrees are hitting menus across campus (think roasted mushroom gyros, bibimbap, and General Tso鈥檚 Cauliflower) in addition to gluten-friendly and vegan options. As a reminder, students with food allergies can join the to receive notifications on substitutions and menu changes, which could increase this year due to pandemic-related shortages (there are listservs for and students as well).聽

Perhaps the most atmospheric late-night dining on campus, 香蕉秀 After Dark is returning this semester with an expanded food menu and selection of alcoholic beverages for students of legal drinking age. Stop by Thursday through Saturday between 5 p.m. and midnight (excluding home football games) and grab a table under the lights.
