The battle for your entree plus.
You know when you were a freshman, you couldn't deny the charm of Markley's own hole-in-the-wall food joint, or maybe it was just the $5.50 you got for your extra meal credits at the end of the week. Either way, would the Markley experience really be the same without it? The food actually isn't that bad, then again if you put enough grease on anything, of course it will taste decent. I have it on good authority that the rumors about employees deep frying Hot Pockets and Snickers bars are completely true. Where else can you get such wholesome cooking?
For those who were stuck on North Campus, you were probably a little more familiar with The Hideaway's cleaner, over-achieving cousin, The Blue Apple. It may have fresh sandwiches, gourmet pizza, and smoothies, but it also has security cameras, no menu variety, and worst of all, the seriousness of a real restuarant.
When you walk in The Hideaway, you can expect to hear your favorite TRL classics from back in the day and half the workers to be singing every lyric. It goes without mentioning, the five-finger discount applies everytime you go in. Keep in mind not to piss off the staff because they do what they want down there. I have seen them throw kids out for ****in with the ketchup dispenser and **** like that.
Overall, The Hideaway is just another reason why every freshman should live in Markley and being on North flat out blows.

1. the staff rocks. unlike those drones at the wannabe apple, the hideaway workers actually have personality and arent afraid to show it. theyre down right entertaining. and they remember you and dont just treat you like another faceless freshman like the rest of the university does.
2. if you buy something, like a hot pocket, you can request for them to have it deep fried. thats amazing. does the blue apple care enough about their freshies to go out of their way to do that?! i think not. and a specialized hot pocket isnt the only thing they would do for you, all you have to do is get creative and ask!
3. north campus sucks. everyone knows that. if you love north, please, go commit social suicide on your own time, i have a real life to get back to. Posted 05/19/2008 2:27 PMReply
and the hideaway does not blow because of the chill atmosphere, bumpin music, and amazingly cool employees.
Those people knew how to have fun, even while working--that should be respected, and come on...any kind of grill/short order place is gonna have that food. Posted 05/19/2008 8:53 PMReply
