It’s not that New York never sleeps, we just keep erratic hours. We work hard, play late and eat later. Fortunately, for night owls after more than pub grub or a sandwich from the corner bodega, there’s an option for most every craving, haute and not. Serving daily till 4 a.m., Soho stalwart Blue Ribbon may set the standard for the perfect late-night nosh—ushering its patrons into what feels like an intimate after-hours club and serving hearty portions of refined nouveau American fare. The Spotted Pig and 24-hour K-town restaurant Kunjip each find ways to turn unexpected ingredients into comfort food, while Sushi Seki and Fatty Crab revive sleepy taste buds with bold flavors and unexpected combinations. Mobbed spots like Momofuku Ssäm Bar and ’inoteca become manageable after prime time; late hours bring less hectic openings to graze their inventive small plates. Whether it’s 1 a.m. smoked pork belly or 3 a.m. ropa vieja, the 10 venues below will ensure that a night spent burning the midnight oil ends with more than just a fire in the belly.
