The Monthly Special: Friendsgiving
The one where we celebrated together.
Friendsgiving: it's like Thanksgiving, but with your friends! On Thursday, November 17, we hosted a Thanksgiving-themed meal at Ferris, John Jay, and JJ's Place so students could celebrate the holiday with their campus friends.
A Dinner with All the Trimmings
Turkey. Lamb. Tofu tikka masala. Brisket mac and cheese. Vegan mac and cheese. And. all. the. pies (and cakes). Friendsgiving dinner had a bit of everything! We make sure there's something for everyone, and that all of is delish.
