"As mentioned, 4 Charles is a great place to have a really, really late dinner (because you’re most likely to get a reservation around midnight). But if 11:45pm is actually too early for you, go to Blue Ribbon Brasserie. This place is an NYC institution, in part because you can stop in any night of the week and get dinner until 4am. So if you fall asleep in a booth at a West Village bar and wake up hungry at 2am, Blue Ribbon Brasserie will provide you with some very good steak or fried chicken." - bryan kim
