J Street Changes Again

As returning students may have already noticed, a lot has changed at J Street over the summer. The most noticeable is the expansion of the J Street Café, making it even more like a traditional college cafeteria. The wall that used to separate J Street Café from the rest of the food area has been torn down to make room for a 33-foot salad bar, an extended hot menu bar and a dessert case. The bagel shop has turned into a high-rated kosher food option and is blessed everyday by a rabbi. Also, the pasta option has been replaced by food catered from a local Indian restaurant.


Many students will also be happy to learn that the Dining Services Commission is planning to place comment boxes around J Street and Ames Dining Hall on the Mount Vernon Campus. According to Christopher Franzetti, the Director of the Dining Services Commission, they are also planning to set up a table on particular days so that students can voice their opinions directly to the Sodexho manager.


Franzetti says that these changes will hopefully meet the demands of students and he considers that so far, this year they’ve been a big success.
