Welcome to my 12 Steps To Awesomeness. Everything you need to know in order to be a true Campus Socialite, and these steps are no exception. Grease, fat, and sugar- what better way to end a night of drinking then munching out on these cardiac favorites? All over the nation students are downing late meals, whether it be at the corner pizza place, hitting the dorm vending machines, or making some late night grilled cheese….mmmmmmm grilled cheese. But there are late night food paradises that a handful of lucky students have the privilege of hitting up after a night of cheap beer and belting out Bon Jovi’s Greatest Hits. These meals are not for the faint of heart and should never be consumed on a sober stomach, enjoy. Steps 12-9:
12- Pep’s Meatball Sub- Binghamton University. A man that many have mistaken for super Mario provides his own version of soul food to the students in Binghamton. What can only be described as a room off the street, Pep’s definitely has the feel of a late night munchies spot. The great thing about this is that the only reasonable option is the meatball sub, you will order a meatball sub and you will like it. Stirring a ginormous pot of meatballs with some secret ingredients that dreams are made of this late night sandwich fills you up and soaks up all those tequila shots. At $2.50 a sub even the poorest of college kids cannot resist Pep’s scrumptious meatballs. Mama Mia that’s one spicy meataball!
11-I know what your thinking, fresh strawberry pie, really? Where’s the grease, where’s the extra cheese, and nothing deep-fried? Lets just put it this way- Jimbo from American Pie would have never even thought of penetrating this slice of heaven, but instead munched away and probably would have laid pipe with Nadia instead of the ginger band chick with his new and improved oral skills. The pie starts with a rich layer of incredible crust combined with custard, which alone would make a pretty good slice of pie. Im not sure where they get these strawberries from but these things are unlike anything you’ll get from your local supermarket. Piled high with a sweet strawberry sauce this slice proves that pie can be labeled a late night munchies. This legendary dessert has been known to turn main land visitors into local sunglass vendors chillin on the beach waiting to refuel with the perfect slice of pie. Anna Millers’s 24 Hour Restaurant adds to the late night atmosphere with their waitress dressed like hot French maids. The slice of pie will run you $3 and change but with a meal a pie slice is only $0.99…you wouldn’t find that at the dollar store.
10- How can any late night munchie list be complete without having the always popular south of the border meal; a burrito. A paradise for Burrito lovers the Burrito King proves that late night Mexican food can be cheap and delicious at the same time. The giant 2lb burrito for $3.50 is loaded with all your favorite fillings of beans, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cheese, hot sauce and your choice of steak or chicken. Though you probably get a nice reminder from your stomach that you devoured this beast in the morning, its definitely worth the price, open from 7am-3am on Illinois St… now that’s dedication.
9- Jumbo Slice- Georgetown/ American University. The name says it all for this one….JUMBO. This mega slice of pizza, which is actually bigger than your head, maybe your upper body as well, is a slice of perfection at 3am in the nations capital. For students in the Adams Morgan neighborhood there is no better way to end the night than with this giant slice of pizza. Greasy, cheesy, cheap tomato sauces, what other thing could you possibly look for in a late night munchies. Im pretty sure it is a requirement to be hammered in order to purchase this bad boy, because sobers individuals wouldn’t stand a chance to finish it. Make sure you save $5 after the bar for this slice and grab plenty of napkins, you’ll need them.
Stay Tuned for the Top 8….
