Thanksgiving Break Dining Location Hours

Monday, October 28

Did you forget to sign the Meatless Monday pledge in one of our dining locations (Fresh Food Café, Nolan’s Peabody Dining Hall or Levering Kitchens)?

Fear not we now have an electronic option to make the pledge to go meatless one day a week for the academic year!

Some of the many reasons cutting out meat one day a week is beneficial:

Benefits for your Health:

• Improves heart health and reduces the risk of heart disease
• Decreases your risk of getting type 2 diabetes
• Helps you maintain a healthy weight
• Promotes kidney health
• Beans, nuts, soy, and other vegetables can give you all the protein you need in one day

Benefits for the Environment:

If one 1/4 lb. beef burger was skipped, it:

• Saves 425 gallons of water; that’s enough to fill 10 bathtubs or a day’s supply of water for nearly 1,700 people or even 6,800 glasses of fresh drinking water
• Saves emissions equivalent to 348 miles driven
• Saves enough energy to power your iPhone for 6 months

Levering Updates

Levering Kitchens went through large renovation this summer from the dining room to the Grill and Wok concepts to even the kitchen and prep spaces. The Grill and Wok stations feature same old favorites as well as brand new items that will wow your taste buds. There is also a new hot grab and Go case where you can find delicious meals hot and read to take with you for lunch. We are also offering Mochi, a delicious premium ice cream covered by a rice ball, which has been a Charles Street market favorite since the first day it was featured. Stop by and try our new items as well as some of your old favorites!

In January 2020 Levering Kitchens will see two more updates and two new concepts being introduced in the north dining room, ThinkFoodGroup’s Butterfly and a brand new concept call Fresh! Look out later this semester for more details on those additions.

Levering Café also went through a mini renovation this summer with a new look and new menu items including the delicious pastries from Patisserie Poupon along with some of your Thread Coffee favorites.
