Five Cool Things About Our New Cafeteria
Cedar Crest’s new eatery has more food choices,
How busy is LVH–Cedar Crest’s cafeteria? Extremely. Every day before 9 a.m., 30 gallons of coffee are sold. By day’s end, there are about 3,000 register transactions. That’s why we made the investment to make the cafeteria better for colleagues, patients and visitors.
“Our new cafeteria is twice the size of the old one, and offers more conveniences and healthy food choices,” says Andy Barsky, senior general manager of food and nutrition services. Here’s what’s new, and what you’ll find at our new cafeteria to feed your cravings and suppress your hunger pains.
1. More options
Feel like Italian? Head to Pandini’s, like Jessica Sgro. In our new Italian section, you’ll find pizza, pasta, salad, calzones, stromboli, sandwiches and desserts served by Jimmy Almonte. How about Asian? Chefs’ woks sizzle at Mein Bowl as they prepare chicken, beef, vegetables, egg rolls, soups and delicious sauces right in front of you. If you opt for salad, there are more options at our expanded salad bar. Or if you crave the comforts of homemade food, visit the grill area for turkey, meat loaf and meals like mom used to make.
2. Sushi bar
Sushi is on the menu, and soon you’ll be able watch sushi chefs work their magic at the cafeteria’s own sushi bar. It’s a healthy food choice and sure to be a big hit. We’re expecting to serve 1,000 pieces of sushi every day.
3. EZ pass only
Need to eat and run like Sue Collins, R.N.? One register is reserved for colleagues only. But don’t expect a long line. The cafeteria’s version of “EZ Pass” will keep things moving. Cashier Nancy Bowll will swipe your identification badge, and your purchases will be charged to your credit card. To apply for this service, bring a credit card to the application table outside the cafeteria.
4. Paper or plastic
No more rummaging for loose bills. The cafeteria now accepts Visa and MasterCard at its seven registers (one more than the old cafeteria). It will eliminate the aggravation of waiting in long lines just to buy coffee (now served in environmentally friendly paper cups).
5. Dine in or out
Finding an open table is easy. The dining area seats 454 people, 130 more than the old area. If you enjoy people-watching with an outdoor view, try the two-seat tables in the hallway outside the cafeteria.
