What specific areas in certain neighborhoods are the best for late-night or 24-hour activity? I work late/am a night owl, and I’d like to know that I can run out to a diner or coffee shop and also a grocery store at any hour if need be, and that there will be people on the street. The few neighborhoods I know in Brooklyn seem to shut down after 10-11pm, even in downtown Brooklyn. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Bar Tabac on Smith Street (at Dean I believe) is open 24/7 and you can get decent food (wouldn’t go out of my way to eat there) and a nice vibe.
I know Williamsburg has a few late-night diners (Kellog’s, Bagelsmith, Kitchen Delight, Anytime) and also some 24-hour grocery stores! Sun-Ac (spelling?)and Kim’s Millennium Market on Union is large and like a traditional grocery store, a nice change from the moldy atmosphere of other 24-hour “grocery stores.”
Of course in Williamsburg you have to deal with the annoying college nightlife, but anywhere that has a big night life scene is going to have a lot of late-night options.
The new gourmet deli at Fulton and South Elliott is 24 hours. Seems pretty nice so far. Great beer selection.
Park Sope 7th ave Diner open 24hrs bet 8th Street and 9th street.
Good luck
williamsburg has kellogg’s diner, no great shakes but open 24hrs. city lights diner is the one on atlantic and 3rd, not bad. and of course in my neighborhood (bushwick) we have lovely dunkin donuts on every block. not ideal but at least something is open.
oh, is that bagel cafe still open on 5th ave can’t remember cross street, near Union maybe?) that place is 24 hours, has a neutral coffeshop vibe.
i can’t think of any grocery stores besides pathmark, would be good to hear of any others (besides bodegas). there is a 24 deli at grand and lafayette, no bulletproof glass!
well, you posted this at the right time to get responses from the late night crowd 🙂
Yeah! another night owl! I’m a total insomniac.
Blue Ribbon in Park Slope is open until 4am. Most other restaurants shut down by 12, except for scattered 24-hour diners (there’s one at 3rd and Atlantic, and one at Clinton and Fulton, and no doubt others). Tea Lounge is open until 1 or 2.
sorry for the typos… it’s 1 am and I’m starving, no place to eat. DAMN!
