Accessibility
We will be seated one floor above ground level. There are 15 steps up to the seating area. Unfortunately, there is no lift. The friendly host assured me, however, that he and his team are ready and able to assist as needed. If you wish assistance in arriving safely at the dining area, please don’t hesitate to contact me in advance so that I can make the staff aware.

For our non-Cornellian colleagues
An ad from an 1879 issue of The Cornellian should go a long way to explaining the Cornell tradition honoring Herr Zinck and his bar. Let it be shown to you by attending Cornellians.
