Wilfie & Nell

After Work / Beer / Beer Lovers

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. A single baby blue armchair invites ... more

Cafeteria

Ambient / Bar / Blazers / Breakfast

Party Earth Review The name may evoke memories of plastic trays, long lines, and globs of gelatinous stew, but Cafeteria – with its mod-cubist interior and upscale twists on American comfort food – certainly doesn’t look like the average school lunchroom. Launched in 1998, the venue remains a local Chelsea favorite, hosting a lively trendy ... more

Corner Bistro

20s / 30s / 40s / Actors / After Work

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

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.

NYC Late Night Food Overview

Wilfie & Nell - Irish Pub | Irish Restaurant in NYC

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.
