It’s finals season again which means you may or may not have already taken up residence in Bobst. Finding a spot in Bobst can be a challenge so once you’ve claimed the perfect study spot, you’ll probably be there there for a while. But if you have to pull an all-nighter, who says you’re stuck with only M&Ms from the vending machine for midnight fuel? Plenty of restaurants around Washington Square deliver, which means they can deliver to your new home at the library. We sifted through Seamless to find the best picks in the area so you can spend more time studying and/or watching Netflix and funny animal videos.
