Imagine this: you’re hanging out with friends after a long night of running around and making trouble (but not too much trouble). Your stomach growls loudly. All of you skipped dinner for a late lunch that was totally worth it. You check the time, and it’s way past closing for most restaurants. You don’t want to end the night because you’re hungry! Where can you get a late night bite? Your eyes brighten. That’s right! Average Socialite! Below is a list of several places that stay open way past the usual closing time.
Bel-Fries

Bel-Fries goes above and beyond when it comes to serving fries. Not only do they have over a dozen dipping sauces (some of which are vegan), but they also have specialty fries that are loaded with spices and other mix-ins. Just be aware that you will absolutely get your hands dirty.
Clinton Hall Beer Garden

For those looking for an elevated beer experience, Clinton Hall has what you need. Along with sipping on your drink, enjoy new takes on classic American dishes, like the double smash burger or for the super daring, a donut grilled cheese!
Empanada Mama
Several locations / Video
Open 24/7, they specialize in all types of empanadas. Whether you want to order online or go in person, these crispy, flavor filled bites will satisfy any craving you have. And for those looking for something sweet, they also have a not so bite sized selection of dessert empanadas!

This adorable and low key place is perfect for those with a big appetite. Whether they’re serving up classic family style Italian dishes, or you’re serving yourself buffet style, you’re sure to curb that late night appetite. And what’s more? They also do catering for big events!
Blue Ribbon Brasserie

Looking for a more upscale place to dine? This is the restaurant for you! The talented and highly skilled chefs serve up some classic dishes with a twist. For an appetizer, start with a cheese fondue platter, or bone marrow and oxtail marmalade. And for your entree, try the perfectly cooked rack of lamb; or if you’re feeding yourself and your friends, dig into the paella royalle.
Medusa Greek Tavern

This restaurant is dedicated to elevating and exposing more people to authentic Greek cuisine. Despite the small menu for dinner, each dish is carefully crafted and packed with flavor.
