More Posts, More Food
It wouldn’t be a normal week in/on the Block without a few creative food events. Pictures below from Anum’s Crepe program in Watt (courtesy of Mike Blackman) and Min Yeoh’s floor study break with heart-shaped cookies in McBain (courtesy of Min)!
UPDATE: It’s a Miracle!
UPDATE 1/23: Check out pictures from the event below! (Thanks to Anu Kohli.)
Back by popular demand: We will have hundreds of miracle berries this Friday, January 21st from 3-4:30pm in three locations: Broadway Lobby Lounge, McBain First Floor Lounge, and Ruggles Basement Lounge! Miracle berries are tiny fruits that make everything turn from sour to sweet. We’ll have a variety of citrus fruits, blackberries, cranberries, goat cheese, and other foods for you to sample, and we encourage you to bring any other foods you’d like to try “under the influence” of the miracle berry. Don’t miss out!
