Which Harvard Square Late Night Food Spot Are You?
•
We all know that HUDS alone will not cause the Freshman (or Sophomore, or Junior, or Senior) 15. Despite having sat through countless lectures about how important sleep is and knowing that eating right before bed is pretty much the worst thing for our metabolisms, we somehow all manage to find ourselves wandering around the Square late at night itching for something to satisfy our cravings. Whether you’re up past midnight studying hard or partying hard, where your late night food excursions lead you says something about who you are.
Tasty Burger
This is probably the only restaurant in Harvard Square that sells more food between 12am-2am than in the rest of the day combined. Obviously this is because grease leads way to a great post party recovery. If you find yourself stumbling in here late at night you are probably either a jock, trying to beef up for the season, or just somebody craving a burger that is a step up from McDonalds.
Clover
It’s 11:50, and you’re the type that doesn’t want to regret your night too much and is aiming to get up early enough to secure a spot in Lamont. Right before Clover closing, you will find yourself trying to figure out if the $6 sweet potato and bean salad is worth the 6 min wait. Your friends may be pissed that you would not settle for anything else with a couple grams of fat or sugar but hey you gotta keep in mind your beach body goals and satisfy your Type A personality!
Pinocchio's
Ok so maybe you didn’t party hard and instead conquered your terrifying CS pset or managed to scrape together your Expos essay (props to y’all that are focused on getting your lives together). Naturally, you are probably looking for a reward and pizza is probably the best reward for anything. If you are really the coolest member of your p-set you will probably end up buying a whole pie to share for celebration.
Insomnia
Warm cookies are great…but what does it take to make you crave them until 3AM? A sweet tooth. If you find yourself here you are the kind of person who may say “Oh I am not that hungry, I don’t need a meal, instead lets just get a cookie, actually maybe a cookie sandwich, actually maybe a couple cookies sandwiches.”
CVS
If you are the type to prepare for the week during the weekend, you probably will end up in CVS late at night. You probably will buy three packages of Oreos, eat two by the time you get back to your dorm and then wake up in the morning thankful that you bought the third.
