As a procrastinator and insomniac, I have
ample reason to be familiar with the Evanston
late-night dining options. And by common
consensus, they suck.
Tere are several places to grab a proper
meal in a restaurant afer 10 p.m. Bluestone,
the Celtic Knot, Union Pizzeria, Bufalo Wild
Wings and Clarkes Diner are all open until
midnight, and later on weekends. All the bars
in town are also open until at least midnight.
But Northwestern kids are more likely to
be studying than partying on most nights.
So, were going to focus on places to grab a
bite when youre working on that paper you
shouldve started sooner.
Your options are relatively open before mid-
night. Te Plaza Cafe in University Library
does a ton of business, especially between 11:45
p.m. and its closing time at midnight, but its
better to go earlier, as it gets pretty picked over
by the end. I have never been to the I Dream of
Sweets cofee shop myself, but its Noyes loca-
tion makes it a go-to option for those who dont
live all the way on South Campus.
If you just need a plain ol store and dont
mind walking, Jewel-Osco is open until mid-
night. Te various (and expensive) C-stores
are open until 11:30 p.m., and Andys Frozen
Custard is open until 11:30 p.m. or so.
Taco Bell, Subway and Phillys Best each
have their niche carved out in the late-night
student population.
Gigios Pizza, near the Metra stop, is cheap
and greasy and gets the job done. Greek
Fire & Grill near Whole Foods is a Greek
place that is relatively cheap and extremely
underappreciated.
Until 2 a.m., you still have a few options,
but the feld is getting narrow. Kafein has many
loyal followers among those who want a place
to study late without going to the library. J K
Sweets is a cult favorite next to Clarkes that
serves everything from Asian cuisine to Edys
ice cream.
Papa Johns and Sarpinos are both open afer
two. If youre craving pizza, go for Sarpinos,
since it has a discount.
Afer that, well, theres only Burger King and
our two beloved 7-Elevens.
If you managed to stay up the whole night,
and still have no plans of sleep, head to Ein-
stein Bros Bagels or Starbucks for a quick
pick-me-up, both of which open at 5:00 a.m.
Te rest of the cofee houses open around 6:00
a.m., at which point you should head over to
Dixie Kitchen & Bait Shop Restaurant for the
$5.50 breakfast specials to reward yourself for
efectively kicking your sleep habit. Just dont
fall asleep in your eggs.
Moral of the story: If you know youre
going to be staying up late, get your snacks
before 10:00 p.m. Otherwise, youre kind of
screwed.

Northwestern students have the privilege of
high-end Evanston dining, but also its direct con-
trast: junk food. Whether you are up until 4 a.m.
studying for economics, feel like eating your feel-
ings or just want to soak up dorm life, here are
some tasty junk food options on campus.
Sbarros pizza
If you missed dinner or developed a mid-
evening greasy, salty food craving, head over to
Sbarros pizza in Norris University Center for a
two-for one-deal, redeemable only from 8:50 to 9
p.m on weekdays. You and a friend can split the
cost, or in a true junk food gorging nature, eat
them both yourself.
Frans Cafe burritos
Tese may not be the epitome of authentic bur-
ritos, but the chicken or beef wrapped in shred-
ded lettuce, Mexican cheese, sour cream and four
tortilla is a lovely kicker during late-night study
cramming. Teyre also a great substitution for
Sarpinos Pizza when stumbling back home from
north campus on a given week night.
Tech Express hot dogs
You may not be a McCormick scholar, math or
astronomy whiz, but these hot dogs reduce even
the smartest mechanical engineer into a groveling,
mouth-watering beast. I am not talking barbecued
hot dogs from Aldi that some fraternity pledge
grills for a philanthropy event. If you close your
eyes and tap your toes three times, you can imagine
yourself on the streets of Wrigleyville, nabbing a
Chicago dog from a stand before the start of a
baseball game.
Garden Salsa Sunchips and red
pepper hummus
Tis calculated combination of taste-bud awak-
ening spices is portable and accessible in many
places, including the Norris C-store, Lisas Cafe
and 7-Eleven. Share the mix with your friends in
a dorm and watch it disappear within seconds, or
hoard it to yourself and still watch it disappear
within seconds.
Chocolate chip muffns at the
University Library Plaza Cafe
When you reach that 11:30 p.m. studying
slump, nom on something sweet. Te chocolate
chip mufns have a diameter of your palm and the
density of a brick. Te sugar high will last you at
least until 2 a.m., when anyones brain would be
useless anyway.
