Looking to curb that chocolate craving or for a healthy snack? Visit your local grocery and look for the new Dole Banana Dippers, containing 120 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 4 grams of fiber, and 7 grams of protein per serving! There are two different flavors - Dark Chocolate and Dark Chocolate with Almonds.

A new vegetarian menu will be tested at seven different Chipotle locations in San Francisco. The “Sofritas” will include shredded tofu, chilis, roasted poblanos, and spices. They will be available in burritos, tacos, burrito bowls, and salads and can be combined with other ingredients (rice, beans, salsa, cheese, guacamole). Depending on the results, Chipotle may look to expand the vegetarian options…maybe to NYC!

See where Columbia ranks!!!

Don’t miss out! Tonight is SURF & TURF dinner in both John Jay Dining Hall and Ferris Booth Commons, featuring Lobster Tail, New York Strip Steak, Shrimp, and a Dessert Extravaganza… Be there (5p to 8p).

Changes are coming to Cafe 212. We need your feedback, so please go to the Columbia Dining Facebook page to vote on your choice for change.
