/EINPresswire.com/ NEW PALTZ, New York – Hungry students heading back to school can expect a pleasant surprise at Hasbrouck Hall. The residential dining facility at SUNY New Paltz has undergone a dramatic facelift and enhanced the spectrum of dining options.
“There’s something for everyone – and fresh is definitely the overarching theme,” said Ralph Perez-Rogers, Sodexo General Manager at SUNY New Paltz. “Our new dining stations provide the ideal combination of nutrition, variety, and of course, fresh, delicious food.”
Among the six new stations is The Wild Mushroom which features a menu serving protein- and nutrient-rich vegan and vegetarian meals including made-to-order salads, sandwiches and vegetarian and vegan entrees with many locally-sourced fruits and vegetables.
The 360 Degrees Grill is an exhibition cooking station where students create their own specialty orders by choosing their own ingredients and watching the chefs work their magic.
The Flying Star Diner will provide comfort foods and breakfast all day. The décor of the diner is styled as an old-fashioned eatery with tile floors and metallic finishes.
