The Holy Cross brothers and priests enthusiastically invite our faculty and staff colleagues to join us once again in the Holy Cross Dining Room (HCDR) for Wednesday lunch beginning November 10. We have missed having you with us!
With our friends at Bon Appétit we are pleased to invite you on Wednesdays during the remainder of the Fall 2021 semester. It is our hope to expand the invitation next spring—stay tuned! As we begin gathering together again, a few reminders to help us preserve a pleasant dining environment for everyone:
- Lunch is available Wednesdays in the HCDR from 11:30 a.m. – 1:15 p.m. For Fall 2021 the HCDR will only be open for lunch on Wednesdays. (Bon Appétit is still experiencing significant staffing issues due to the pandemic.) We will hope to open up more regularly for guests in Spring 2022. The HCDR is located in the back hallway of the Commons beyond the double doors near the dish return.
- This invitation is for faculty and staff only. This preserves the privacy of the HCDR and allows us to gather with colleagues and friends without undergraduates present. If you would like to have lunch with an undergraduate, please use the Pilot House or the main Commons dining room.
- Please refrain from the use of cell phones and other devices in the HCDR. To help us preserve the intimate and communal nature of our dining room, thank you for stepping into the hallway to take phone calls or to view media that requires sound.
- Lunch costs $10 and includes unlimited buffet and beverages while you are in the HCDR. To help keep costs down, please do not take any leftovers or carryout items with you. This price is equitable to what Holy Cross pays for our own lunch in HCDR; Bon App has worked hard to keep lunch affordable for us all.
- Tables are not to be reserved for lunch meetings. This helps us preserve a more congenial atmosphere
for dining with colleagues and friends. Please use the Pilot House or the main Commons dining room for
lunch meetings. - COVID protocols are posted in the HCDR. These will be continuously updated to align with university
policy. Thank you for your care to keep us all safe.
