It won’t be long before Ithaca’s beautiful weather becomes unbearably chilly - so icy that even a walk to Collegetown to grab a bite is daunting. If you’ve eaten your way through Sage Dining’s menu several times and are in the mood for something different, plenty of nearby options surround you. Many of the buildings that encircle us on campus have their own dining facilities. While much of the food is similar to Sage’s repertoire, there are some things the Business School doesn’t offer. Here are several alternatives to add variety to your daily consumption.
The Ivy Room, in Willard Straight Hall, open Mon-Thurs 7am-10pm, Fri 7am-7:30pm, Sat 8am-7:30pm, Sun 9am-10pm
Made-to-order stir fries, fajitas, curly fries and chicken fingers are standards in the Ivy room. A great place to go when Sage is closed or you just want to get away from the b-school scene. Picnic table type seating puts you shoulder to shoulder with our undergraduate schoolmates during peak business hours.
Cascadeli (in Willard Straight Hall), open Mon-Fri 8am-3pm
Sick of your traditional turkey on white or roast beef on wheat? Try a Gobble and Oink (garlic mayonnaise, turkey, bacon, provolone, lettuce and tomato on a white roll). If that doesn’t appeal maybe a Barnyard is more your style (turkey, ham, roast beef, asiago cheese, lettuce and horseradish sauce on sourdough). Cascadeli features a variety of “new wave” sandwiches such as these. If you’re yearning for something sweet, Cascadeli’s bakery case is stocked with brownies, cookies and other goodies. Want the satisfaction, but not the guilt? Try a refreshing frozen yogurt.
Okenshield’s (in Willard Straight Hall), open Mon-Fri 11am-2:30pm, 4:30pm-7:30pm, Sun 10am-2pm
It’s been one of those days. You feel like you’ve been studying for more than 24 hours. You’re tired. You’re cranky. You’re half starved. Okenshield’s has the solution. For one price ($5.25 breakfast, $8.60 lunch, $9.00 dinner, $9.50 Sunday brunch) you can eat as much as you want. A variety of hot meals, grilled foods - hot dogs, burgers, chicken, fish, fries - soups, salad bar, freshly baked pies and cakes are among the many items featured daily. The quality can be questionable, but for quantity feeding, Okenshield’s can’t be beat.
