It took me a whole year of being at Northwestern to make my
way out to Noyes St. for food. Armed with a meal plan bequeathing me a
never-ending supply of grilled chicken, sandwiches incorrectly made to order,
and whatever the disgusting vegan option of the day was (Quinoa! Seitan! Tempeh!),
I ate most of my meals in the dining hall1.
This was made easier by the fact that I lived in a dorm where the dining hall
was in the basement, so dinner consisted of knocking on everyone’s door at 5:302
and traipsing down the one flight of
stairs to the lovely Elder dining hall.
So, in retrospect, it was entirely reasonable that I would
never bother to make the 10-minute walk west3 for an entire school year. Which is a shame, because on Noyes St., one can find
the greatest sandwich establishment known to mankind – Rollin’ to Go.
I wouldn’t formulate that opinion until sometime during my
junior year, when, finally weaned off of dining plans, I ate out significantly
more often, and it was the closest option to where I lived. The very first time
I went, it wasn’t exactly a memorable experience – at about 4 PM on Dillo Day,
having eaten a few pancakes but having also drunk approximately my body weight
in shitty tasteless rum or whatever the alcohol du jour was, I was not only
completely inebriated but also so exhausted from waking up at 8 AM and going to
three concerts in a row that I passed out at the table waiting for my sandwich.
