Restaurant | "Mara"

Mara is a quick service restaurant/ marketplace. If you looking to buy a quick hot meal or just want to get something out of the refrigerator case without spending an arm and a leg, this is the place to go. One of the specials they offer is a reuseable mug which offers free refills during your entire stay. Well worth it if you plan on spending more than a couple of days there. Mara also offers various packaged items such as Pringles, chips, crackers, and the like. Fresh fruit can be purchased here as well as a gourmet coffee. A little bit of everything for everyone.

If you're really hungry and ready to EAT EAT EAT, then BOMA is for you. It's a buffet only restaurant, but the choices are outstanding and delicious, plentiful and sumptious.
