We’re Back.

01May08

S is so sorry to leave you in the dust, with nothing to do except twiddle your thumbs. And we have no excuse: these last couple of weeks have been packed full of activities and things to do, from Earthstock to the Red Hot Revelry today on campus. But we promise that we will try [...]

While everyone here knows that we are not exactly huge fans of Stony Brook dining (pizza, really? again?), we can’t complain because Executive Chef’s Kitchen and Fuzions and now… Starbucks! try to balance out the mix.
But what we couldn’t wrap our heads around was this recent article in The New York Times about campus dining. [...]

So by now you are probably sick of even looking at campus food. Don’t worry, we feel you. But unlike the majority of The Brook, we have been sneaking off across the tracks to grab some Mexican delight. Yes, Green Cactus is overpriced, and the menu is a tad too similar to Blue Agave, but [...]

Last Saturday, we noticed something very interesting– the cheesecake at Kelly Cafe. Though no one has mentioned it, along with The Cheesecake Factory heavenly desserts, the famous Junior’s Cheesecake is also sold at the Cafe. We weren’t able to grab a slice to let you know how it tastes, but feel free to spread the [...]

For some reason Stony Brook has weird policy with selling baked goods; if you ask us, we think that’s ALL that should be sold on campus… But have no fear. Check out the Hospital Cafeteria today– WISE is selling lots of treats, from babycakes (ahem, cupcakes) to pie to brownies. They’re drool-worthy.
Where: 5th floor, near [...]

February is almost over, and we can’t believe that Spring Break is in just a couple weeks. Where is that warm weather? Tonight, help us celebrate the closing of Black History Month. There will be guest poet Dr. Patrice Nganang, lectures by special speakers, and student performances, including the speech by the winner of the [...]

We all know how bad food starts to get mid-semester. That’s why S invites you to join us at Kelly Dining sometime this week– Executive Chef’s Kitchen is the perfect opportunity to learn and eat real food (and a chance to give your two cents to the chefs who create our meals). So far there [...]

Sick of campus food yet? Au Bon Pain soups are great, but can we really have them for 2 weeks in a row? And without Starbucks, the Union is looking bleak for a nighttime coffee and dessert. Fear not, my fellow Brookers, there is a solution: Stony Brook Express Delivery.
We are not endorsing the business, [...]

We thought you might like to know that Kelly Dining changed up their weekend hours…. and menus. Kelly Brunch is being served on Saturdays, but Sunday you can grab food from the Dining Center without having to pay $7. Don’t worry– everything that you would want at Brunch is still offered– waffles, omlettes, muffins, and [...]

Hummus and Babakanush now available at Fuzions. Delicious?
Here at S, we tried out the menu, and have to say, we’re pretty darn impressed. Our favorite, Southwest Chicken, is still on the menu, but the restaurant has added more plated compositions and sandwiches such as the Bella Salad and the Texan. We recommend you stop by [...]
