Brunch is the casual hybrid child of breakfast and lunch served with a combo of food both typically served at both meals. At Cedar Crest, the sleepy, pajama clad young women slowly gather in the Falcon's Nest to enjoy the foods served buffet style.
Brunch and dinner in the Falcon's Nest is a recent change to this year. While the times of both brunch and dinner during the weekends have remained the same (10:30am to 1:30pm for brunch and 4:30pm to 6:30pm for dinner) the location has changed. Dining services also closed the dining hall for breakfast during the week and only serve it in the Falcon's Nest.
The Falcon's Nest itself is still very new, with construction on the conversion of the old bistro completed in late 2009. The Cafe, which is on the opposite side of the Falcon's Nest, was completed within the last 3 years and used to be an art gallery.
And while students may always complain about the food (really no matter what college or university they attend), Parkhurst (which is the foodservice organization that operates at Cedar Crest) seems to really listen to student concerns and complaints by changing and trying to meet student needs. In the last 5 years, they added a salad bar, started providing more diverse and healthier options, and most recently added a soy milk machine.
Dining services also celebrates and recognized different holidays and events by having their employees dress up and providing special meals. Because this weekend is St. Patrick's Day, the Falcon's Nest is covered in green and employees have gotten in the spirit by dressing up as well.
So if you find yourself eating brunch in the Falcon's Nest this Sunday, look out to see if Dining Services has anything special (most likely green colored planned.)
