Here\u2019s the best part about living in the center of a big city: late-night munchies.

Don\u2019t worry hungry homie, I\u2019ve\u00a0discovered the best places to get your fix-ins before 2 am in the morning.<\/p>\n

\nThis classic Chinese restaurant has a menu that runs almost the same length as a novel. To all\u00a0my fellow Chinese students who miss the taste of home-cooked restaurant quality food, Vicky\u2019s\u00a0is the place to go. Open until 1 am, this restaurant will definitely satisfy your salty cravings with\u00a0their famous fried rice, mapo tofu, and my personal favorite \u2013 salt and pepper squid deep fried\u00a0in crunchy batter. Oozing with traces of savory deliciousness, this place will bring the comfort of
\nauthentic Chinese food directly to your taste buds in only a matter of minutes. And believe me\u00a0when I say you know it\u2019s good food when the servers don\u2019t need to coddle their customers\u00a0because they are confident people will come back for the mere smell of their chef\u2019s cooking.<\/p>\n
\nAn excellent place for my burrito-loving students. I like to call this restaurant Chipotle on\u00a0steroids. El Jefe\u2019s just screams authentic, not only because their ingredients are top-quality, but\u00a0because the workers definitely know what\u2019s good. Just from the look of their array of toppings,\u00a0you can immediately tell how fresh everything is \u2013 from the hefty servings of hot pulled pork to
\nthe bright and colorful pico de gallo. For the price, which rounds out to about $10-$13 dollars\u00a0each, you can easily split a bowl into two meals and still feel full from the large serving of pinto\u00a0beans. If you\u2019re looking for a hearty bowl of Mexican flavors catered to your taste, El Jefe\u2019s is\u00a0one to try.<\/p>\n
\nI believe the trend of restaurants in the west is an unfair advantage to those who live all the way\u00a0across the bridge. But worry no more my fellow easters, because Kenmore has got your back.\u00a0BBQ chicken is THE place to get your chicken fix-in. I would strongly suggest you take a good\u00a0number of people here so you get to try each and every chicken flavor. This Korean restaurant\u00a0serves flavors like cheesy snow, honey garlic, and my personal favorite \u2013 \u201csecret sauce\u201d. The\u00a0tangy, sweet, and spicy combination leaves you craving more and each morsel of crunch is
\nperfectly coated in their signature sauce. A good serving of 20 pieces can definitely last you a\u00a0few days if you\u2019re planning on ordering in on a Saturday night. But asides from their star dish, I\u00a0would not pass up on the Korean sides like their Rose Tteokboki, a creamy and spicy base\u00a0littered with pieces of rice cakes, fish cakes, and topped with cheese.<\/p>\n
\nIt would be a crime to college culture if we were to end the night without something sweet.\u00a0Insomnia Cookies are a staple at Boston University. This late-night dessert place brings\u00a0students from both ends of campus given its prime location. Located right by the central\u00a0campus, Insomnia Cookies serves one of the best sweet treats in a wide variety of flavors. From\u00a0the classic chocolate chip to HERSHEY\u2019S Reeses pieces, you\u2019ll find yourself craving these\u00a0gooey pieces of baked sugar even as you walk by campus and unintentionally steal a whiff of
\ntheir fresh batch. Insomnia welcomes customers until 1 am on weekdays and 3 am on the\u00a0weekends. If you\u2019re feeling extra adventurous, grab a bite of their ice cream sandwhiches or\u00a0limited edition flavors. Just don\u2019t forget to wash it down with a cold glass of fresh milk \u2013 the\u00a0perfect end to a night out.<\/p>\n
