Cafe V and The Village

If you haven't been by Cafe V, The Bus Stop by the Village or the Village Coffee house there is a new nicely trimmed walk through garden. Being water wise the "garden" is made of colored rocks, nicely shaped planters filled with San Diego native plants. The walk through provided a nice path for Village residents to Cafe V and ERC students a nice walk to the Village Place and Market. Not to mention replacing a construction workspace with a picturesque view.

Here is a photo from a Cafe V window:

Good Luck on Finals!

Rush EKO with the EcoNauts, and look out for traveling Farmer's Markets!

Hey everyone!

Want to get involved with the "green" scene on campus? Come out to "Rush EKO" for a week of events happening in January. We will keep you posted!

If you would like to help contribute to the success of the event, please donate your empty plastic water bottles to the EcoNauts! You can drop them off in designated cardboard boxes at The Village laundry mats.

The Villagers do their laundry at "The Launderette" in building 1 and "The Washboard" in building 3.

Thanks guys!! : )

FYI: If you haven't been to any of the farmer's markets on campus, awesome news!

The market is coming to you!!

It'll be a traveling caravan around campus every Wednesday.

Next Wednesday, Jan. 20th, the "farm 2 U" Farmer's Market will take place at The Village transfer housing on campus from 3:00-6:30pm.

It's an event that truly caters to students because you can use your UCSD Dining Dollars at the market! Just another way you can use those meal points to enjoy the fresher things in life. : )

Here are some iconic images of The Village, in case you havn't been there yet, and don't know what to look for.

The Village is North of ERC and Cafe V. So head over to check out some deliciously fresh goodies!

Have a great week, and be good to yourself!

I gotta EAT! Find out HOW to know WHERE to go and WHEN.

In between studying, you gotta eat!

I'm sure many of you already know the hours your favorite Dining Services (DS) restaurants are open-- in fact, you might even plan your day around these hours to ensure you have a chance to grab a meal.

In case you didn't know... Dining hours change during holiday breaks. Some even change during Finals week!
One of my favorite dining halls is Cafe Ventanas in ERC. The location is close to where I live (The Village), so it's super convenient. If you don't happen to live near there, but want to check out Cafe Ventanas one of these days, their regular hours are:

• M-F: 7am to 9pm

• Sat-Sun: 10am to 9pm

But the hours change on these holidays:

Veteran's Day:

• 11/11: 10am - 9pm

Thanksgiving Break:

• 11/25: 7am - 1:30pm
• 11/26-11/28: Closed
• 11/29: 5pm - 9pm

Winter Break:

• 12/12: 7am - 1:30pm
• 12/13-1/2: Closed
• 1/3: 12pm - 9pm

I called Cafe Ventanas at 858-534-0567 to ask if the hours are different during Finals week. I spoke with the manager, Daniel, who assured me they keep their regular hours, but will be closed the last Saturday of finals.

The dining hall managers are super cool people that are there to help you guys. So take advantage of the opportunity to voice your opinion to them, or just to let them know what an awesome job their doing! : )

It's beneficial to be as aware of dining hours as you are of library hours.

Curious to see who the other managers are? You can find their pics, contact info, and the hours of operation for the other 10 or so dining halls and markets on campus by visiting:

Hang in there guys! More than halfway through fall quarter, and you're doing great!
