New York City is known as the town that never sleeps, and offers a plethora of all night restaurants where you can grab a nosh when most of the world is home in bed. Visiting an all night restaurant is a fun part of the New York City experience, and allows you a fascinating glimpse at the sample of New York City residents who are regularly at play in the wee hours. You can find an all night restaurant for almost every taste, from chic (Florent) to classic (The Waverly) to purely delicious (Veselka). With all of these great options to choose from there’s absolutely no reason to go hungry in New York City, no matter what the hour.


Florent
69 Gansevoort St. between Greenwich and Washington.
212-989-5779

Styled like an old-fashioned diner but with a distinctly modernist twist, Florent is perhaps the most chic all night restaurant in New York City. The food is moderately priced (entrées start around $10), and the menu consists mainly of classic American fare with a dash of upscale flair. Although the service is often heavy with “New York City Attitude,” the atmosphere of Florent is well worth this minor inconvenience. Best of all, unlike some all night restaurants that get a bit quiet late in the evening, Florent is busy and hopping with action long after most of New York City has gone to bed. Tucked away on a side street in the meatpacking district, which is home to some of the most lavish clubs and bars in New York City, Florent is one all night restaurant that really hits its stride after midnight. A visit to this all night restaurant in the wee hours will give you a chance to soak up the ambiance created by the movers and shakers of New York City nightlife.

The Waverly Restaurant
385 Ave Of The Americas (6th Ave) at Waverly.
212-675-3181

Takeaways
  • Florent in the Meatpacking District is the best spot for a chic, upscale meal in the wee hours.
  • For a traditional diner experience try the Waverly, a West Village institution.
  • Veselka, in the heart of the East Village, dishes up great Ukrainian fare 24 hours a day.
Did You Know?
Although NYC is the "city that never sleeps," the all night restaurant was actually invented in Providence, Rhode Island in the 1880s.
