Starbucks
Since there are four Starbucks on and around campus, it’s only appropriate to visit all four and ask what their favorite orders are.
Jess at the Starbucks in Paterno Library says her go-to order is a grande iced latte with blonde ristretto espresso shots, 2% milk, two pumps of toffee nut syrup, and two pumps of caramel syrup.

Jackie, who works in the HUB, loves the new shaken iced espresso with brown sugar syrup and oat milk. For this drink, baristas will queue espresso shots, fill an iced drink shaker with ice and brown sugar syrup, add the espresso, and shake it, which makes the espresso ~foamy~. After that, oat milk is added to top it off.

What’s happened to all of the pizza joints in Gardner?
Of course, I am being facetious, but at one time there was more than a dozen places in the city where you could purchase a pizza pie in these parts.
It nearly became a joke of sorts that a city the size of Gardner had more pizza joints per capita than most communities statewide.
However, that number is dwindling to the point where now there are only eight places in Gardner to buy pizza.

It was in this section of town that Gardner’s first settler, Elijah Jackson, erected his home, the famed Public House known as “Jackson Tavern.”
