Harvard Today: Sept. 5, 2013

Classes may seem a little emptier today than they were on Tuesday due to the absence of those observing Rosh Hashanah. Nevertheless, for many students and professors it will be another day of shopping. So if you weren’t thrilled with the results of Tuesday’s shopping, now’s the time to try something new for that Tu./Th. slot you’re looking to fill. See Flyby’s suggestions below.

IN THE ATMOSPHERE

There’s a good chance of rain in the late morning today, but things should clear up by early afternoon. Temperatures will be in the 60s all day.

IN THE D-HALLS

When it comes to HUDS, even vegetarians can eat subs. Vegans will have better luck at dinner with the Cajun Black Bean Cakes.

On the Lunch Menu:
Chicken Parmesan Sub
Cheese and Mushroom Quiche
Tofu Parmesan Sub

On the Dinner Menu:
Korean Pork Stir Fry
Moroccan Roasted Chicken
Cajun Black Bean Cakes with Corn Salsa

The Harvard Shop Grand Opening
The Harvard Shop celebrates the opening of this third store today with a ribbon cutting at 5 p.m. The open house event will feature a performance by The Harvard LowKeys, as well as free coffee from Boston's tricycle-riding barista “The Coffee Trike” and other light refreshments. There will also be free ping-pong balls and special discounts on other items. The new Harvard Shop is located at 65 Mt. Auburn Street.

Free Cookies at Insomnia
Even amidst employee protests, Insomnia Cookies is in full cookie-delivering swing. The store is offering three free chocolate chunk cookies with all online orders. This only works when you order for delivery, not in-store pick-up. Split the cost of an order with your linkmates and enjoy the free extras.
