"Want to cry alone, in the dark, while shoveling down really good dry-fried eggplant and sipping orange wine? At Octopus Bar no one will bother you and you can order seconds (or thirds) without judgment; service industry folks and night owls frequent the place, it often brightens your day despite being perpetually dark inside, chef Jared Warwick notes “We have seen a lot of breakups,” and the bar opens after 10 p.m. with last call at 2:15 a.m." - Allison Ramirez
