Party Earth Review While its simple white exterior and austere white subway-tiled walls might recall a fifties shake shack, Schiller’s Liquor Bar is all about the hard stuff, making it a must-stop for young New Yorkers who do their barhopping on the Lower East Side. A small one-room bar and restaurant owned by Keith McNally of Pravda fame ... more

Party Earth Review Despite its genteel name and ivied French windows, Wilfie & Nell is actually a hardcore watering hole for young professionals and finance types looking to get seriously drunk – and an impressive selection of tap and bottled beers like Rogue and Dead Guy Ale helps them reach that goal.

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 Located in the swanky Gramercy Park Hotel, Rose Bar is a chic and modern parlor that draws a clientele of artists, trendsetters, and the occasional celebrity. While no longer an A-list hotspot, the venue (created by Ian Schrager of Studio 54 fame, and designed by Julian Schnabel) still has a discerning door and guests who ... more

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.
