Try these open-late New Brunswick eateries for your next midnight snack
Hunger at midnight is nothing new for college students, whether you need brain food from being up late studying or are feeling peckish after a night on the town.
New Brunswick has countless options for food during the day, but what about late at night? Do you need a midnight snack to power through your cramming session? Or, are the late-night munchies hitting and you need to have something in your belly?
If any of these sound like you, try these three New Brunswick restaurants open until late.
King of Gyro
King of Gyro remains a Rutgers staple for a reason. Not far from The Yard @ College Avenue, King of Gyro is somewhat of an Easton Avenue celebrity. Not only is it buzzing at all hours of the day, but they’re also open until 2 a.m.
Here, you can get a chicken platter, fries, falafel and so much more. King of Gyro is wallet-friendly and its portion sizes are filling — you can eat some late at night and have leftovers for the morning.
Try the chicken or mixed platter topped with all the sauces along with a side of onion rings — this combo is both delectable and budget-friendly.
The smell of the platters topped with the white and hot sauce at midnight may just be what you need to keep you pushing, at least until the taste hits your mouth.
El Jefe's Taqueria
El Jefe's Taqueria at the Yard is convenient, cheap and comforting — not to mention, open until 4 a.m. Burritos, tacos, burrito bowls and quesadillas are all comfort foods that will satisfy your appetite and make any late-night grub session worth it.
El Jefe's burrito bowls are densely packed to the brim, helping you get some bang for your buck. Also, the eatery’s extremely cheesy chicken and corn quesadillas are delicious and perfect for a post-night-out snack.
Sour cream, guacamole, chipotle mayo and hot sauce are classic toppings on your El Jefe's meal, which you can finish at the restaurant, sitting on one of their benches watching TV or take home with you.
AKIHI Bubble Tea
Do you have late-night bubble tea cravings? AKIHI Bubble Tea might be your answer. This late-night spot, open until 3 a.m., recently opened at the Yard and continues to grow in popularity among students.
Imagine you and your friends want some late boba at midnight but need a convenient spot to travel to. AKIHI, located near a popular bus stop, has a variety of bubble tea drinks including classics like brown sugar boba, mango slush and various milk teas.
You can study here, surrounded by the spot's pretty aesthetics and comfy chairs, or you can take your drink home to sip in the comfort of your residence hall.
Being a college student comes with late nights, whether from buckling down to complete impending Canvas assignments or enjoying nightlife. Try these spots next time you need a meal to fill you up for wherever the night takes you.
