"We don’t have a lot of gas stations in New York, and they certainly are not known for their food. But Blue Hour—from the team behind Little Flower—makes us wish we had a car as an excuse to go more often. You’ll find chicken tenders and a chopped cheese, but The Cwunch Wap Supweme is the complete meal to prioritize, with a tostada in the center that never gets soggy." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
"Hours: On Fridays and Saturdays, until 2 a.m.; otherwise, until midnight Blue Hour is one of the most inventive late-night options in Brooklyn that still feels kind of secret. That’s because it’s a takeout stand tucked inside a BP gas station in Bushwick. Note: There aren’t any seats, but that’s fine, because the best way to enjoy their spicy chicken sandwich, chicken over rice, or dishes (all halal-friendly), is on the hood of your car in the parking lot." - Emma Orlow
"Launched by the same partners as a modern fast-food counter located inside a Bushwick gas station, this concept emphasizes quick-service, contemporary fare and continues the team’s pattern of compact, neighborhood-focused operations." - Emma Orlow
"You could go to Taco Bell after that underground DJ set. (We get it, you’re cool.) But you could also go to a gas station in Bushwick, and order a Cwunch Wap Supweme. From the team behind Sami’s Kebab House and Little Flower, Blue Hour is located inside a BP and stays open seven days a week until 2am. Most things on the menu cost $10 or less and will be worth the next morning’s acid reflux. If you’re not into Taco Bell copycats, there’s also a fiery hot chicken sandwich, and a smashburger with hints of cumin in the special sauce." - willa moore, will hartman, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah
"A Brooklyn spot that riffs on fast-food nostalgia, serving its take on a Taco Bell Crunchwrap out of a gas station." - Jaya Saxena
