New Campus Choices

Hungry students have a variety of new options to choose from on campus this fall.  Wasabi To-Go features modern Japanese cuisine in a convenient location - right next to Au Bon Pain in 2000 Penn.  Their menu includes Japanese staples like sushi and sashimi, as well as vegetarian options.  The to-go Wasabi location takes GWorld, just like their original location. 

 

Expect construction to begin on a CVS in 2000 Penn soon.  The store will open next semester in the former Tower Records space, bringing the total number of CVS stores in a three block radius of campus to five.  Like the other locations, CVS will take GWorld as well.

 

Another addition to the list of locations you can use your GWorld card is the Marvelous Market at 2424 Pennsylvania Avenue.  The store opened late last semester.

 

Coinciding wtih an emphasis of recycling on campus is a soon to be open, eco-friendly restaurant, Founding Farmers.  It's located in the IMF building at 1924 Pennsylvania Avenue.  Developed by the National Farmers Union, the restaurant will feature fresh local produce and meats to emphasize the importance of sustainable agriculture.  Employees will follow strict guidelines for reducing energy use and waste, while menus will be printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks.  Also, their water will be filtered in-house to eliminate throwaway bottles. 

 

And if you're looking for a place for happy hour, Tonic, on the corner of 21st and G Streets now serves liquor along with beer and wine.  In a long fought battle, the restaurant was granted a full liquor license over the summer.  Just remember that you are not allowed to purchase alcohol with your GWorld card, so make sure to stop by an ATM first!
