Choosing where to eat around campus can pose a challenge with all options SAIC students have. Because of our 9A.M.- 9P.M. schedules, we usually end up eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the same building. If you’re feeling like spicing up your routine, you might want to try eating lunch based on your zodiac sign.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)- MacLean Café
Aquariuses open, independent and intellectual. This calls for a quick bite at MacLean’s café. Find yourself having all sorts of intellectual conversations, or having a quiet, reflective lunch on the 12th floor of MacLean as you look out into Lake Michigan’s horizon.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)- LeRoy Neiman Center
Artistic and intuitive, Pisces, your spot is the LeRoy Neiman center. Your instincts are out to the test as you figure out how to score a plate of food while everyone is crowding around. Once you make it past the cashier, an array of creative clusters sit before you.
Aries (March 21-April 19)- Chipotle
Placed right on the corner of campus, Chipotle makes the perfect place for Aries to make an impulse buy. Chipotle has dozens of options whether you’re vegan, craving a steak burrito, or you just want some chips.
