It was like the dawning of a new day. Standing at the counter in Moogy's with my roommate, we overheard the waitress (and the term is used loosely), talking to a customer who'd called up. "Is this takeout or delivery?" she asked, and with that the sun seemed to start shining just a little bit brighter. Even though I'm lucky enough to have a roommate with a car (thank you, nursing school), not everyone is so privileged. But with the startling revelation that Moogy's delivers, the distance between Boston College students and a wealth of sandwiches, burgers, and everything in between just got a whole lot shorter.
Moogy's is really the kind of place that every college should have nearby, if not subsidize for the benefit of the student body. The low-key atmosphere, large menu, and friendly servers make for a thoroughly chill dining experience. Sitting back in the big wooden booths with eight of your closest friends, it's easy to forget that you've got six papers due in the next 10 days. If you're lucky enough to nab one of the games that are left sitting around (you have to love a place that supplies Connect Four), you'll have no trouble passing the sometimes long wait for your food.
The food at Moogy's is cheap (around $4 - $8 a meal) and the portions can be huge. It's the Goldilocks school of sandwich-making: the half-sub is just a bit too small, the large is roughly the length of the table itself, and the regular is just right. There are a variety of deli-style subs and sandwiches, on sub rolls, white, wheat, or rye bread (I recommend the toasted rye), and you can pick one of their sandwich combinations or come up with your own.
The sandwiches come crammed with meat, and you can specify what else you want added on, from sauce to cheese to lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers (I'd ask for extra honey mustard). Really it's standard-issue deli fare, but there's something to be said for that when you can't find an actual deli within a 50-mile radius.
