By Claire Coffey | June 9, 2011

A variety of new restaurants including Subway, a bistro, pub and gelato parlor have opened their doors in the past four years, adding variety to Hanover's dining options. Despite having been open for only three weeks, Hanover's newest restaurant, Market Table, already hosts a steady stream of customers, according to owner and chef Nicky Barraclough. "So far the biggest challenge has been that, from day one, we were busier than we expected," she said, laughing.

Editors' Note

Catherine Treyz / The Dartmouth Senior Staff In about 15,051 words, we have attempted to sum up your four year tenure at the College but how could one issue encapsulate all your experiences in such a limited space? While it may be easy to remind you all of the day you first stepped onto Robo lawn for your DOC trip, ran around the bonfire during your first homecoming and won your first game of pong (or if you haven't what have you been doing all of Senior Week?), for many of you the experiences that stand out most are not those that appear on the Dartmouth bucket list, but rather the moments that were uniquely your own. Sure, jumping into the icy waters of Occom Pond during the Polar Bear Swim might have severely impacted your body temperature, but what about that moment in class when you realized what you wanted to write your thesis on?

By Hank Leukart | June 9, 2011

For 20 days straight, I tried to catch my breath, chasing firemen, professional football players, an 18-year-old girl from Kansas and famous, blind mountaineer Erik Weihenmayer across sand dunes and around ancient Kasbahs. Surprisingly, it was only the second most bizarre job I've ever had.
