Your dining hall is Twittering!

Picture 3

Princeton Dining has its own Twitter account this year–and is hilariously adorable about it, too.

I always appreciate the cute gestures the dining halls make, from hand-written signs to the random bread-y treats the pizza section of Rocky/Mathey makes (Pesto and focaccia? Yes). And also, that one time last November, when the staff dressed up as Obama and McCain and danced down the aisles? I appreciated that, too.

But now they have a Twitter. I’m not a big fan of Twitter, but I enjoy this one. Princeton Dining’s Twitter, which was launched over the summer, doesn’t just tell you when the CJL is closed or when there’s hot pizza at Studio ‘34--it’s also really cute. It’s so earnest! It gets excited! It occasionally makes spelling errors and uses a lot of exclamation points!

The highlights:

6:18 AM Aug 31st from web: Pre-orientation students back this week?! Where has the summer gone?

7:57 AM Aug 31st from web: we open in 12 days!

7:54 AM Aug 28th from web: Looking forward to OA freshman a week from tomorrow. The class of 2013 will be one campus soon!

7:14 AM Aug 27th from web: Fall sport athletes are back on campus, and boy, are they hungry.

5:49 AM Aug 24th from web: Our intern just completed our sustainable food numbers for last year. 45% of our purchases were local!

8:38 AM Jul 28th from web : @PrincetonTrack Your athletes have good taste!

And their very, very first Tweet:

10:27 AM Jul 7th from web: Out to lunch, always.


Their Twitter also has plenty of deals on food and drinks around campus–but only 137 followers. So now that the Internet is back up, follow them! And then follow us.
