Party Earth Review The term “watering hole” has special significance when it comes to The Anchored Inn, a dive that drips with more nautical paraphernalia than the average sea-faring vessel. Model ships, paintings of giant squid, mermaids, and even a full-body vintage diving suit suspended from the high ceiling make up much of the décor ... more

Party Earth Review There’s little more than a neon PSYCHIC sign out front, but just past the clairvoyant reading cards and behind the curtained door awaits a hardly secret speakeasy called Employees Only. Dubbed one of the “50 Best Bars in America” by Food & Wine in 2011, the venue’s 20s vibe is obvious, from the pressed-tin ceiling and ... more

Party Earth Review A late-night menu, reasonably priced drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere keep people coming back to Art Bar, a West Village staple that draws a loyal mix of locals and out-of-towners alike.

Party Earth Review A greasy escape from New York’s hustle since 1961, Corner Bistro remains quasi-preserved in time to bring no-fuss dining to one of the city’s most upscale neighborhoods. The garish neon sign out front may be reminiscent of a seedy Amsterdam den of sin, but the vibe inside is all American: Stained glass cabinets, antique ... more

NYC Late Night Food Overview
Seeing as it’s the city that never sleeps, New York has no shortage of late-night food options. The bite-slingers of Gotham know that there are twenty-four workable hours in every day, and that there’s always someone out there dying for a snack.
Overall, NYC late-night food does away with the city’s often ritzy foodie culture and instead goes for the gritty, eat-what-you-want-not-what-you-should mentality. Greasy spoon diners, such as the inimitable Big Nick’s on the Upper West Side, pump out fries and burgers by the barrelful after the bars close, while brown sauce Chinese restaurants and deli sandwich counters become the new watering holes for post-club partiers happy to brown-bag a Bud over a turkey club.
Sure, late-night food in New York isn’t the most health-conscious, but who cares? The people chowing down on wings and omelets at these all-night restaurants are usually either younger drinkers who don’t mind adding another sin to their evening or older regulars who are long past caring about their girlish figures. If anything, late-night NYC eating allows these different crowds to mingle over onion rings and compare the notes of their weekend.
If it’s last call at the bar but rush hour in your stomach, New York late-night eating has just the thing to calm the shake.
