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!!

They also have a registered dietitian on staff for consultations with members.
Great programs and great service/staff! Highly recommend!

Spinoni's has really good food! They have a wonderful salad bar. When it is warm out, there is an outdoor patio where people can eat. I would definitely recommend eating there!

QQ Bubble Tea opened about a year and a half ago right next door to Carmen China House and started selling a variety of fruit flavored drinks -- some are made with fruit and white, green, or red tea, and some are like the Slushies you get at Dairy Queen, but with a twist. Any of the drinks can include an extra item such as tapioca balls, gelatin, or fruit extract that is mixed in with the drink. The store also sells little egg shaped cakes that taste like warm pound cake. This restaurant is run by Chinese immigrants who imported the idea from Taiwan. The owners, a husband and wife, are the sweetest people you would ever want to meet, and a perk for those who get "addicted" to Bubble Tea -- as several of my friends and I have -- you get a card where after nine drinks, you get one free!!

Tres Hombres is a good Mexican restaurant, especially for the size of town Carbondale is. It is frequented by a mixture of locals and college students. They always give their good salsa and chips with your meal and offer a variety of menu choices.
They have a bar to the side of the restaurant where you can also order food. They have a couple of games and lots of seating. At night, the bar area is a popular place for college students to go to since they have dj's and bands at times. It is not a huge or rowdy bar but you can enjoy a night out without most of the Carbondale craziness.

Harbaughs is a cafe serving breakfast and lunch conveniently located on the strip. They have egg dishes, pancakes, salads, and sandwiches available along with delicious hot coffee. The atmosphere is homey and welcoming, and while they are always busy, I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for a table. I am a big fan of the frittatas and the Ayla's Bundle sandwich is very good also. Two caveats: they don't accept credit cards and they close at 2pm.

More
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.
