Yet another collegetown bar bites the dust

[Trotsky]

Every time I go up there the town has bifurcated more into crap or the kind of place hipsters take pictures of their food.

The only ones serving actual food are Cornell Dining.

Down to 1, I think across the mall has managed to survive so far.. downtown became a Dennys and then it failed and will be come a Byrne Dairy any  day now..

Breakfast choices very limited now if you dont want fast food.

But what of the one *in* the mall?!

the mall location left a few yrs ago, its now a mexican place, if its still open.

I hope the patio will be awesome and will clash completely with the glass-box monstrosity behind it. I call for as many umbrellas and festive lights as possible, so as to reclaim that space for humanity.

This is actually GREAT news!  I now have a new place to eat before games!  Maybe even after, depending on how late they will stay open.  It has always sucked how early Ithaca downtown rolls up the sidewalks, not that there are many options if you don't want to tweet pics of your food.

Well said, sir.

I see Cornell Giving Day Thursday did not extend to crowdfunding a new Chapter House lease and management.

Second worst is the best any such glass box monstrosity can be since 1973, when Uris "the Cor-Ten rusts quickly to form a fine patina" Hall opened.

Third worst, in fact, if we are considering any ol' architectural mistake, given Boardman Hall's untimely demise (1958) for Olin (1961).

Whereas the glass-heavy arts-quad addition to Goldwin Smith Hall works well, is exactly the kind of space students want and use, and IMO Klarman Hall looks okay as a new addition to an old, old building.

Last I knew, there was a Pizza Hut at Triphammer.  Has it closed?
