Campus offers healthy and tasty new options

Realizing you skipped breakfast when you pull up to campus isn’t as scary as it was once was, even as a follower of specific dietary needs. As a busy college student with limited time and in need of brain food, the best tasting food I can eat is one I’m not making any dietary sacrifices or having to leave the comfort of my own campus for. Recently, Del Mar added extra options to Campus Dining that are able to be enjoyed by anyone of any diet.   JULIETA HERNANDEZ During lunchtime in between classes, I went down to the East…

Students practicing on other students

Before every cosmetology student graduates, they must have a certain amount of hours practicing on real live humans. While the idea of letting students cut your hair that took you some time to grow is a little frightening, it is must-needed experience for students to earn. While we usually review restaurants for “Economic Crunch,” when we learned of the service and two editors needed their hair done anyway, we sent them to check it out.

Old fashioned country food at a great price

Slice of the Big Apple in South Texas

A local business offers a slice of New York and Italian cuisine to Corpus Christi, which is a marked difference from big food chains in the area. LENNON MENDIOLA Authentic New York Pizza is a unique treat and an excellent pizza stop. I had two four-cheese pizza slices and the display confused me for a moment because from personal experiences around Corpus Christi with pizza, which mostly revolve around food chain pizzas such as Pizza Hut, Little Caesars and such, seeing a thick cheese-covered slice of pizza was not in mind when ordering. As for the taste itself, each bite…
