Students have adapted to the new hours at The Garage. \u2014 JOHN REMANIAK<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Parkhurst Dining changed operating hours and food options at The Garage, found inside MAP Caf\u00e9, at the start of the semester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The late-night dining spot will no longer open its doors to Grove City College students on Friday evenings. Instead, The Garage will offer a Sunday brunch service, a second lunchtime dining choice on campus in addition to Hicks Caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We offer a rotating variety of eggs, breakfast meat, breakfast potatoes, pancakes or French toast, fresh fruit and additional accompaniments such as breakfast pastries (at The Garage for brunch),” said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Garage Caf\u00e9 will now be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays, 8 to 11 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 5 to 11 p.m. on Saturdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Garage will continue serving student favorites such as pizza, corndogs and pot-stickers, while also introducing a rotating menu that now includes Sunday brunch service,” Chrastina said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some students are confused why The Garage will now remain closed on Fridays, a day that many want to satisfy late-evening food cravings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I feel like the whole point of The Garage was to be a late-night hangout spot to replace The GeDunk (now Chick-fil-A),” senior Antonio Sanguigni said. “I don’t understand why it’s closed at the beginning of the weekend when I am looking to hang out with my friends. This change only encourages students to go off campus for food on Friday nights after Hicks closes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some students may be disappointed that they can no longer visit The Garage on Fridays, Chrastina defended Parkhurst’s decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Since Friday service historically had the lowest number of guests, it was the most natural area to adjust, and so far, it does not seem like Friday service has been terribly missed.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parkhurst believes that feedback has been positive and is excited to offer the replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The additional Sunday brunch was designed to give the students another alternative to Hicks being the only dining venue open on Sunday,” Chrastina said. “Sunday brunch provides another dining opportunity that students had been requesting.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For students wondering whether to go to The Garage or Hicks for dining on Sundays, it all comes down to personal preference. While Hicks will have a menu with more options and variety, Parkhurst promises that The Garage will also appeal to students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I like the idea of brunch, generally because I like hanging out in The Garage,” junior Michael Chmura said. “It provides a change of pace to spend time in a quieter area on Sundays.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
