ybvvjLy y OH ( LcUr paJb' Students Weigh in on the Addition to Temple Eateries Temple University boasts an ethnically diverse student body, so it is fitting that the food choices on and around campus arc just a unique from Mexican to American, Indian to Chinese, there arc plenty of places to cat and that number continues to grow each year. With all of these expansions, some students feel like they arc still missing out. Alexandra Kachapuridzc, now in her senior year as a journalism major, has waited for a restaurant that caters solely to her vegetarian diet. I his year campus upgraded in food shops with the opening of Potbelly Sandwich Shop and Chipotlc Mexican Grill which arc attached to the new apartment complex The View at Montgomery. Though they arc different types of eateries - Potbelly serves sandwiches and milkshakes and Chipodc specializes in burritos - they both have notable names that have drawn students in. “There arc a lot of places in the city that are only vegetarian food. It would be cool to have one here too since we do have a lot of students that are vegetarians,” Kachapuridzc said. “It’s a little annoying to have to go and sec if there are vegetarian options and if there isn’t then I’m out of luck. I’d rather know before I go to the restaurant.” “I am most excited about Chipotle because I think it is a big upgrade,” John LaPclusa, a senior kinesiology major, said. “Even though we have Qdoba on Cecil B. Moore, I was never a fan of their food. I always liked Chipotlc better so I’m really happy we finally have one.” Pizza Hut also joined the Temple area this year, opening on 15th and Cecil B. Moore Avenue. This is just one of many pizza joints on the street that includes Pazzo Pazzo and the very popular City View Pizza, which came to campus in early 2014. LaPclusa agreed that there are other restaurants missing from Temple’s campus. Instead of more places to cat, he hoped some would be substituted for others he considers better quality. “I think that Temple is missing a Panera and Wawa,” he said. “While we have Cost and 7-Eleven, neither is close to as good as the ones I mentioned.” In this period of change and expansion for Temple University, more food options become availiable each semester There were also big changes for students who rely on their meal plans WRITTEN by siobhan redding this year. Morgan Hall opened up a brand new dining center with an phoiography by .ok evaniils all-you-care-to-eat policy. Students have the choice between tacos, pizza, pasta and more - or a combination of everything. Ihis dining center is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
