"Even Bugsy Siegel would approve of El Cortez’s Siegel’s 1941 with its clubby feel and American fare, open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays. The overnight menu features the Fat Irish Green corned beef hash with three eggs, New York steak and eggs, smoked salmon, a Reuben, and twice-fried chicken wings. Insiders know that the move here is to order the prime rib — a tender slab of meat served with vegetables and a baked potato. While it’s open 24 hours twice a week, most nights it serves until 3 a.m." - Janna Karel
