Midnight Meals at BU
The best late-night bites when the clock strikes midnight
by William White
Whether you're up late studying or hanging out with friends, hunger can strike at any unpredictable hour. Once midnight hits, it can be tough to find a meal to satisfy your cravings as a college student. Instead of reaching for those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or ramen noodles, turn your attention to the few staples along Commonwealth Avenue that stay open late and are ready to serve you!
T. Anthony’s is a favorite amongst many Boston University students, serving a variety of Italian cuisine, including their famously hot and ready-to-go slices of thin-crust pizza. Located at 1016 Commonwealth Avenue, the restaurant is open until 12:30 a.m. Not in the mood for pizza? T. Anthony’s also serves chicken tenders, wings, sandwiches, and late-night sweet treats, including Boston cream pie. While enjoying your midnight meal, be sure to check out the autographed photos by sports teams searching for the best pizza in Boston!
Boston University’s very own El Jefe’s is just up the street from T. Anthony’s at 957 Commonwealth Avenue. Open from 8 a.m. to 3 a.m., the restaurant offers students a variety of options, from breakfast items to create-your-own tacos, bowls, and burritos. While the line may form at the door, the employees’ hard work and efficiency keep it moving swiftly.
Taco Bell Cantina is another top contender, if not the favorite, among the late-night restaurants with hours until 3 a.m. Ordering has become easier thanks to the addition of their digital touch kiosks, where you can choose your meal and pay. With promotional offers and deals including their party pack and meal combos, Taco Bell has options ranging from a single taco to a Crunchwrap Supreme combo—my personal favorite. You can also choose from various fountain drinks and endless sides to complement your meal.
The Late Night Cafe at West and Bay State Underground at Marciano Commons, are also convenient options for grabbing a meal if you skipped dinner. Without having to swipe in, ordering is easy and accessible right on Grubhub. The options are endless, from food platters of chicken, fries, and mozzarella sticks at West to creating your own mac and cheese at Bay State. The hard part is deciding what to choose.
When the clock strikes midnight and you find yourself craving a meal, take a stroll along Commonwealth Avenue and enjoy a bite at one of these late-night restaurants!
