When a case of the late-night munchies strikes, look no further than these cheap eats near campus.
The Hummus Place
Satisfy hunger the healthy way with a generous portion of hummus served with your choice of fresh-baked pita bread or gluten-free corn tortillas. The combination of chick peas, olive oil and spices of the hummus Masabacha ($7.95) is especially delicious when paired with a steaming cup of Turkish coffee ($2.50).
Various locations
Corner Bistro
This Bohemian bistro emphasizes quality and quantity over frills. Try the Bistro Burger ($8) and split a side of fries ($2.75) because there is more than enough to share.

Cafe Habana
Tucked away in NoLiTa, this little taste of Cuba is famous for its grilled corn ($4.25) served with chili powder, lime and cheese.

Wolfnights

WSN used to be a serious news source. But now its turning into the next sleaziest media outside for the east village–almost comparable to NYU Local (and that us not a compliment). These kind of news stories need to be done away with. expand your news or enterprise coverage, please.
