Boston College

Seared tofu, black bean stew over whole grain rice, and organic chicken pesto pizza are among the menu offerings at the Loft @ Addie’s, a café on the second floor of Corcoran Commons, which calls itself the “new, green dining option on campus.” University Dining Services developed the concept in collaboration with Real Food BC, a student group whose missions is to promote “the purchasing of food from local, green, humane sources in order to support localized food production and reduce carbon emissions.” The café is named for the beloved Addie Lalli, who has been working at Boston College since 1976, according to Megan O’Neill of Dining Services, and is famous for her fresh ravioli and get-it-right-the-first-time approach. Above, business is brisk for Michelle Carty ’09 (left) on September 24 as she staffs Addie’s flatbread pizza counter.
