Beware: Hot dog cravings are the most dangerous of all cravings. When they hit, you will want a frankfurter 100 times more than usual. It’s cheap and quick, which is music to the ears of every college student.
#SpoonTip: Top dog (Frankfurter), chicken apple (condiments are a must)
King Pin Donuts

Cravings: Sweet. Bread.
Closing Time: 2 am
Donuts. Need we say more?
#SpoonTip: Whatever has the most glaze or sprinkles. Also, donut holes never disappoint.

Cravings: Cheese. Potatoes. Grease.
Closing Time: 4 am
Some say that Smoke’s tastes better while drunk, but we’ll let you decide. Though it is technically from Canada, we’ll let it slide because it tastes so delicious.
#SpoonTip: Traditional poutine, anything with smoked meat
Seniore’s Pizza

Cravings: Pizza. Or something sweet.
Closing Time: 3 am
While their pizza is delicious, Seniore’s hidden gems are their deep fried Oreos. They’re guaranteed to be a pleasant contrast after downing a few rounds of Smirnoff.
#SpoonTip: Deep fried oreos, chicken wings
CREAM

Cravings: Sweet. Ice cream. Cookies. SUGAR.
Closing Time: Mon-Thurs 12 am, Friday and Saturday 2 am, Sunday 11 pm
CREAM is practically a Berkeley landmark. Build an ice cream sandwich to satisfy your (tipsy) sweet tooth, or try out the new mini ice cream sandwiches.
#SpoonTip: Turtle cookies with mint chocolate chip, chocolate chip cookies with royal caramel swirl or these combos
Crossroads Late Night

For weekday partiers, Late Night is heaven for those drunken cravings. Whatever you’re craving, they have it. Breakfast food? Yes. Burgers? You betcha. Fried stuff? You already know the answer.

Remember to make good (and legal) choices when you go out. Only eat if you know your stomach can handle it, and trust your sober friends when they tell you it’s time to go.
Buuuuut… If you’re tipsy and your stomach is growling, take a trip down Drunk Durant and regret nothing.
