Now that the new academic year is in full swing, we hope you’ve had time to get your new CrimsonCard, which replaces the Jagtag.
The CrimsonCard is your key to a lot on campus – and off. When it comes to lunch, it can help keep your wallet filled while you fill your stomach. When you use your CrimsonCard as payment, there are many food discounts at restaurants near campus, with different deals for different days of the week. Here are just a few you should know about:
Monday
City Barbecue has locations all over the Indianapolis area, but the location at 621 W. 11th St. offers two free side dishes with the purchase of a regular sandwich on Mondays if you pay with your CrimsonCard. To go with your brisket or pulled pork, you can choose from down-home delicacies like green beans with bacon, corn pudding, baked beans with brisket, sweet vinegar slaw, collard greens with pork and much more. The sides rival the main entree here. Hours are 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
