Penn students will soon have more dining options under 1920 Commons.
Starting this semester, Yo-reka! will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. daily. At 11 a.m., it will be transformed into Mediterranean Your Way, a Mediterranean salad bar, according to Pam Lampitt, general manager of Conference Services.
Additionally, The Burger Stop has been replaced by the Burger and Sandwich Stop, expanding the menu to include panini sandwiches and items such as the “Ultimate Grilled Cheese”, Lampitt added.
When deciding what changes to make, Bon Appetit considered feedback from students, she said.
For example, students had expressed they would like the Burger and Sandwich Stop to serve wings at all times, which it will now do.
Mediterranean Your Way provides “more options for vegetarians and vegans,” Business Services spokeswoman Barbara Lea-Kruger said.
The new hours of Yo-reka! reflect its busiest traffic hours, Lampitt added.
She said that Mediterranean Your Way will offer lunch and dinner options that Yo-reka! did not provide.
College freshman Helen Uttarotai was disappointed to see that Bon Appetit was “focusing more on options for Dining Dollars” rather than meal swipes.
Uttarotai, who has few Dining Dollars, would prefer changes to dining hall menus.
