Out of points at the Snack Bar? Too late to go the Commons? Don't worry-you don't have to starve. There are plenty of places in the area to try out late at night.

If you're looking for a casual diner, Nautilus is located just outside of campus. It closes at 2 a.m. on weekdays and 3:00 a.m. on weekends. Nautilus Diner has all the regular diner dishes-burgers, fries, salads, waffles, pancakes, gyros, entrees and even milkshakes.

It's not quite open all night, but Burger King is another place for Drewids to munch until 12 a.m. every day. Burger King has, well, burgers, as well as fries, chicken tenders, and its signature Hershey's sundae pie. Also, refills on sodas are free. "I think Burger King is good for the random fast food attacks, and for the Icees," Clay Zemelman ('08) said.

If you're looking for something light, Dunkin' Donuts is open 24 hours each day. Aside from the regular snacks one might expect-donuts, bagels, coffee, juice-Dunkin' Donuts also has smoothies, Coolatas and even personal pizzas.

Not in the mood for a prepared meal? You can make your own by getting the right ingredients at Stop & Shop, which is open until 12 a.m. everyday. Stop & Shop has all the groceries any Drew student needs, ranging from juice, milk, eggs and luncheon meat, to sushi, cereal, frozen dinners and even lobsters. Don't forget to register for a Stop & Shop card. Anyone can get a card, there are savings nearly every day for almost half of all the products, and best of all its free.

If you're willing to spend a little extra, QuickChek might be the solution to your late night hunger. QuickChek is typically a bit more expensive than Stop & Shop. However, QuickChek is open 24 hours everyday. Aside from selling many of the same groceries as Stop & Shop, it also has free ATM withdrawals and customizable subs that are available through an electronic menu. To top things off, QuickChek even has a customer-automated smoothie and milkshake machine in the back!

"When I go in town for food I prefer QuickChek. I hate the diner. The diner sucks, it's sub par in comparison to other Jersey diners," Paul Magia ('08) said.

In the mood for some pizza? Located very close to campus, Domino's serves pizza as well as their signature buffalo wings, Chicken Kickers, cheesy bread, breadsticks and Cinnasticks. However, Domino's does close at 1 a.m.

"Domino's is good because it's cheap and arrives fast. It cures your crave," Raymond Gregory ('10) said. "But it doesn't taste good after you've had it for a while."
