Did you know that Houston Hall, built in 1896, is the oldest student union building in the country ?
Nice study space on the ground floor if you need a comfy couch to fully absorb your reading, and of course fuel up with an Insomnia cookie from the basement .
The new Asian noodle/ rice food bar is actually pretty good. The vegetable miso ramen is pretty light and tasty. Was told the general tsos is good there too.
On Saturdays they serve brunch 11am-4pm with omelettes , waffles , eggs Benedict and Mac and Cheese . It's cheap and delicious!
Second floor couches are a great place to study. Also class of 49 and platt are awesome dance practice rooms
The ladies bathroom has one of those fancy hand driers (no promises about the men's room)
The lines are very long from 12pm to 1pm in Houston Market . Also, if you get water in a cup from the soda machine then it's free.
The salmon california role is actually pretty good.
