Global Gourmet is a small restaurant that opened in Carbondale's Town Square about a year and a half ago. The restaurant specializes in multi-cultural foods from all over the world that are made fresh daily. Often, the restaurant's owners use local and/or organic produce in the recipes that they make. Although the food is more self serve in the sense that you heat it up and then eat it either in the restaurant or on tables located by the front of the building, it is excellent!! If you are looking for recipes that feature lamb, chicken, or just plain vegetarian recipes, this is the place for you to eat.

I became acquianted with the Longbranch Coffee House when I moved back to Carbondale in 2001. This coffee shop specializes mainly in organic, local, and fairly traded foods and beverages. The shop makes a variety of beverages from the traditional coffees and teas to organic juices and smoothies. The restaurant also has a brunch and lunch menu that has snack food items on it as well. The atmosphere is friendly and a nice place for people such as hippees, liberals, and others that are not interested in going to a traditionally glitzy coffee house.

More
The Neighborhood Co-op is a local grocery store that specializes in organic groceries, health foods, alternate medicine, and promotes local farmers and vendors when possible. This grocery store is different in the sense that shoppers have the option of becoming co-owners with voting power over the future of the store by purchasing a $100 share in the store. This share offers many benefits, one which includes the possiblity of getting a rebate on groceries at the end of the fiscal year.
This store offers beneftis beyond healthful living to the shopper. In fact, I have used this store to purchase natural healing products for my cats, as well as creating a baby shower basket made out of organic baby food (in part) for my sister when she was expecting my nephew. The price for the products are a bit high compared to what you would pay at Kroger or Schnucks but I think it is worth it to pay a bit extra for my health.

Do you want to take Fido or Fluffy for a walk? Well, Animal Crackers is the perfect place for a break on your path! This store specializes mostly in dogs and provides obedience training, doggy day care, and kennel boarding, but also has a large selection of catt products. I have shopped here for cat food, collars, shampoos, and purifying fountains. The staff is helpful and goes out of their way to help you locate what you are looking for. One word of caution though -- if large dogs scare you, this might not be your place! Owners and staff alike can be seen walking dogs on leashes, but credit must be given because the dogs are well controlled. If you want to support local business and take care of your pet, this is your store.

Rosetta Stone is basically the only place in Carbondale where you can find more obscure art, design, and music magazines. They also have a selection of books as well as DVDs for rent. The DVDs, I believe are way too expensive, but unless you have Netflix, there is no other way to get obscure art films in the backwater town.

I've mostly visited the Book Worm to get rid of the many books that pile up in my room, and they always pay a fair price. The selection of used books is also very good. The few times they didn't have what I was looking for, they took down my name to call me when they got it in.

Are you sick of the mainstream news trying to convince you that current events are happening differently than they really are? Do you ever wish that you could share your perspective? Well, the Big Muddy Independent Media Center is for you! The center's main focus is on preserving free speech, and they have meetings every other week to discuss free speech issues. Currently, they are trying to get enough money raised to publish their independent newspaper, but there are other events there as well. For example, every Friday evening at 7 pm, an independent movie is shown which is open to the public. The Center also hosts art shows and rents out the space to anyone who wants to use it. Let your voice be heard. Be the Media!!

Callahan's is a typical Irish themed pub. They have a nice selection of imported beers and whiskeys and have reasonably priced drink specials most nights of the week. They also serve decent pub food (burgers, sandwhiches, fried appetizers, etc) until 10 pm. The waitresses are very friendly, and they have 2 big screen tvs usually showing sports.
