When I'm not being paid with "experience", I work as a library assistant as part of my campus work study. Working 7 hours a week leaves me with about $225 by the end of the month, forcing me to get a little creative with my extra curricular activities. After drinking away my summer paycheck I've learned that bars are not a friend to the financially burdened college student. This lesson has left a large portion of my weekends free.
Tonight I headed over to the Brooklyn Bridge (free!) and got something to eat (and drink) before my walk. We stopped at Mocca Lounge looking to stuff our bellies full of delicious Mediterranean goodness and it just happened to be happy hour (2 for 1!)... who can pass that up?
So Mocca Lounge was awesome and definitely worth the tab. We ordered the Middle Eastern Platter ($12) which came with four dips- humus, baba ganoush, salsa, and Greek salad with thick, warm pita. It fed our table of four and left just enough room for the Mediterranean Quesadilla ($9). I ordered the nachos but liked my roommate's quesadilla way better. It was the perfect consistency of gooey goat cheese and mozzarella, roasted eggplant wrapped in a crisp shell and topped with humus.
Next time I stop by I want to try the fixed 2 course menu. They offer an appetizer and entree for $25 or appetizer, entree and 2 glasses of wine for $35. Not terrible considering the New York City alternatives.
They also have a really great esspresso bar so we got some coffee to go. The coffee mixed with the walk over the bridge took care of my happy hour flush and provided me with Friday night plans that didn't leave me tapped out. Who says college students aren't resourceful?
