I'll definitely eat Fleetwood at night after drinking. But if the sun is out, I'm going to either Benny's or Angelo's for breakfast.

I can tell you that Insomnia Cookies is most definitely not unique to AA, and in fact was at State (among many other locations) before coming to AA.

Yeah, post 2 AM you have backroom pizza, pizza house, cottage inn, BTB, jimmy johns, quickie burger, etc. Nothing really as original as Hippie Hash in the late hours, but I still don't see it as a major drunk destination for students unless they live off campus.
March 30th, 2011 at 8:51 PM |
Yeah, I agree with this
Yeah, I agree with this
Yeah, I agree with this assessment. I think mostly of the South U places and may be NYPD or Quickie. I don't think of a place FOR STUDENT DRUNK FOOD (this being the key part, since this is related to the schools) that is PASSED Main Street as a destination for students late night, unless they've been on Main Street to begin with. I feel like most people hang out on South U though, but I might be South U-centric.
I mean, BU is third because of some food truck...but you could pick any place around their campus which literally covers a long stretch of Boston. Hell, you could pick any drunk food place in the city near a bar that students hangout at. I feel like the criteria is pretty ambiguous.
Also, I am getting both hungry and sick looking at these pictures.

As an Undergrad?
Really? Ann Arbor has cliqued up like that for a reason. South U bars are appealing to undergrads because they are dives with cheap booze. Seriously, I have never been able to get as drunk for under $10 than the mason jars at Charley's. Rick's is a shining display of undergrad frat culture.
When I was an undergrad, I would gripe at any beer that cost over $5. I wanted my pitchers for less than $10.
Now as a young professional, the Main St. and downtown bars are much more appealing to me. I don't want to be surrounded by undergrads, mostly underage, trying to get as drunk as they can before last call.
Hail.

If you look at all the other schools' entries, they're all weird, wacky, out-of-this-world concoctions (at least if you want to get a good "ranking"). So, I support this choice, although backroom pizza, Charley's pepperoni sticks, or Mr Spots might be more popular.
And damn, I'm hungry after looking at that list!

I won't disagree. Bells Greek Pizza was the choice for people who wanted to do tasty body destruction after the bars closed. Pizza so greasy that it would melt through the dollar store paper plates they'd serve it on in less then a minute. You got it by the slice for 79 cents back in the day. http://thebellspizza.com/ I think they messed this choice up.
East Lansing is fine, but it is an outpost with very limited choices in most categories like this.

Still, Jimmy John's might be what I miss from campus the most, living somewhere that doesn't have any.

Chipotle is great but their tortillas suck. On the other hand Pancheros tortillas are amazing but their meat is awful quality (other than the carnitas). Life is fun, but it's hard.

Beyond that, my vote for "shit you wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole sober but becomes worth its weight in gold once your BAC breaks 0.12%" goes to Backroom Pizza, with an honorable mention to Bells.

BTB is easily the best drunk food in Ann Arbor. Not only is it delicious but it is super fun to throw the but end of your burrito at parked cars! Try it next time you're stumbling around state street at 3:00 am, I dare you!

Ha I have been known to throw a burrito or two in my time...
Ha I have been known to throw a burrito or two in my time...
but I have to agree that BTB has DEFINATELY slid downhill from its prime (circa 2005-2007). The last couple times I have gone back the food has either been cold or sucked. I have completely replaced BTB with Bell's Pizza as my late night drunk food.

Don't get me wrong. There's fantastic late night food in Toledo. Great individual stuff. But RIGHT next to the majority of the dorms on campus there was a Taco Bell. Drunk at 2AM? You were staggering over for a bean burrito.
If you could find somebody sober to drive you though, there were better options.
Man, this thread makes me hungry.

and a UT grad, but Im not sure there are that many options late night, in town. Cottage Inn, Steak-n-shake, Waffle House...all pretty generic.

I love hippie hash. I immediately thought of it, when I read the title to this thread. I'm sorry though, I can't endorse Fleetwood. I thought it was pretty good until I found Abe's. Fleetwood's broccoli and generally less buttery concoction just isn't as good as the hippie hash in ypsi. You have to use a pound of butter with it. It just tastes so much better.
Ordering basically the entire menu at BTB is great too.
... is a win in my eyes. Great, great, grea late night drunk and morning after drunkenness spot.
