Top 10
Places to curb those late-night munchies

STAFF WRITER
7 Pop’s Pizza
• Pop’s New York-style pizza is a relatively new addition to the Five Points area
but will be sure to whet any appetite you may have worked up dancing down at
Good Times. (707 Harden St.)
2 Grilled Teriyaki
• Nestled near Jungle’s Bar, Grilled Teriyaki offers the same great hibachi food
at a lower price than most Japanese steakhouses. Plus, it’s open until 3 a.m.!
(748 Harden St.)
3 Beezers
• You can get your extremely late-night hunger calmed because Beezers (a staple
for most USC students) is open until 3 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 4
a.m. on Friday and Saturday. Beezers offers a large variety of sub sandwhiches
at really cheap prices. (919 Sumter St.)
/ Domino’s, Papa John’s
• Both with locations on Devine Street, these familiar pizza shops will have just
what you’re looking for.
5 Yesterday’s
• This tavern serves up a variety of chicken, beef,
Tex-Mex, seafood and pasta dishes until 1 a.m. on the weekends. Don’t worry,
they also serve the typical bar food, chicken wings. (2030 Devine St.)
£ Wing Zone
Open until 2 a.m., Wing Zone offers 25 different types of wings, not to
mention chicken fingers, salads and a kid’s menu. And they deliver! (132
Assembly St.)
7r Delaney’s
• Offering up bar staples like cheese sticks and jalapeno poppers, not to mention
regular menu items (including their signature Irish Whiskey Steak), Delaney’s is
a great place to go. And on Monday nights, you can enjoy two entrees for the
price of one between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. (741 Saluda Ave.)
O Village Idiot
• Offering New York-style pizza, calzones, strombolis and not to mention a
full bar menu, Village Idiot also offers really cheap prices and great specials
Ethroughout the week. (2009 Devine St.)
The Pita Pit
A more unique late-night snack, the Pita Pit allows you to create your own
pita from an array of veggies, cheeses, toppings and sauces. (2002 Greene St.)
Jimmy John’s
Much like its competitor, Beezers, Jimmy John’s plays host to a variety of subs
and salads. (715 Gervais St. and 2015 Devine St.).

BLUSTER • COnTIflUED PROfTl S
with a 14-track rock
explosion.
The first track of the
album, “Waiting,” kicks it
off with a quiet lead-in that
explodes into a delightful
bomb constructed from the
most volatile components
of rock. The harmonies are
flawless and would remind
people of Weezer’s “Blue
Album.” Power chords
pump from the guitars and
the drums keep a strong
pulse of percussion that
drives the song until silence
indicates the end.
Another outstanding
song is “Blackout,” which
slows down a bit and gives
the album a nice mid
tempo centerpiece. This
song is a wonderfully
constructed lyrical piece.
The chorus bursts forth
saying, “How many times
will it take to cover up the
past mistakes?”
It’s a song about a broken
relationship that is trying tc
come back together, but the
other person wants to keep
blaming you for things. It’s
a song about being helpless
. in that situation. The past
is the past, and after a
certain amount of time you
can only apologize for it so
much.
To sum up the message
of this song, the abstract
would read, “I love you.
You love me. I did you
wrong. I’ve paid for it. So
when can I start loving
you again and making you
happy, ‘cause I’m the only
one who can do that?”
If you know someone
going through this rough
situation, buy them this
CD and leave them alone
with incense burning and a '
flower.
Another song worth
mentioning is “The Legend
of Pegleg Sullivan.” It’s,
a story about the great
Chicago fire of 1871. The
song tells about a gentleman
named Pegleg Sullivan who
bought his “one-way ticket
straight to hell” in starting
the disaster by setting a
small fire, which the wind
blew all over the city. This
song has fun lyrics with a
more punk-based backbeat
that would remind people
of early Green Day, before
they left Lookout! Records
and became a major label
act.
So this weekend, while
you’re worrying about
exams, get blister’s “Before
the Blackout.” Then have
a pants-optional party and
invite all of your friends.
Get you favorite brew (if
you get Blue Moon please
invite this columnist) and
then party and rock out.
Because that’s what life’s
all about, right? College
is the best years of our
lives (hopefully), so take
every chance to melt your
face with rock. But please
remember to put water on
the Slip N’ Slide, or at least
have a pack of ice waiting
for you after you lose your
nips to the fiery plastic that
covers your lawn.

the overenthusidstic couch
jumping by Tom “Ryan,”
viewers know the spoof
signals replacing “Ryan”
for “Cruise.” While the
majority of Tom’s scenes
ridiculed Cruise’s off-the
deep-end antics, with his
current insane behavior, the
jokes are not that clever.
Cruise has been made fun
of too many times for it to
still be comical.
Rent the actual scary
movies this film satirizes
and make fun of them. Save
the money and the tedious
boredom “Scary Movie 4”
projects.
