A guide · food hours checked Thu 22 Oct
Late night food in NYC.
A late bar is not always a late kitchen.
These four archive rooms publish food-service evidence after 11pm. One gives exact kitchen cutoffs, two offer weekend restaurant service, and one keeps serving oysters after its full menu ends.
This is a short, source-backed starting point, not every late kitchen in New York. Choose your day before your room. All times are New York time.
Read the clock before you go
For dinner after midnight on a weekday, use the explicit kitchen timetable below. Weekend overnight service does not mean Sunday night, and oysters are not a substitute for the full dinner menu.
A posted end time is not a last-order guarantee. Give yourself time to travel, wait and order. Near the cutoff, call before leaving and ask whether the kitchen is still taking food orders.
We checked published schedules, not live seat availability or tonight’s kitchen by phone. Holiday hours, sold-out dishes and private events can change the answer. We never hold, resell or book a table.
J.G. Melon
Upper East Side · 1291 Third Avenue
A hamburger pub on 74th Street, with a kitchen timetable that outlasts most dinner plans.
Food hours
Kitchen closes 2:30am Monday–Thursday, 2:40am Friday–Saturday, and 12:40am Sunday.
These are kitchen closing times, not a promise that orders are accepted right up to them. Call before a near-cutoff trip.
The way in
Walk in; the restaurant takes no reservations. Ask about the kitchen before settling in.
Why we say so
Their published food schedule says “mon-thurs kitchen closes at 2:30am; fri & sat kitchen closes at 2:40am”. Their entry policy says “No Reservations”.

Katz's Delicatessen
Lower East Side · 205 East Houston Street
Hot sandwiches on Houston Street, when a Friday or Saturday has turned into tomorrow.
Food hours
Continuous restaurant service from Friday 8am to Sunday 11pm. Friday and Saturday nights are the overnight choices.
Monday–Thursday and Sunday nights close at 11pm. Holiday hours differ; no separate last-order deadline is published.
The way in
Go to the restaurant for a small-party visit. Groups larger than ten can request a reservation; call about group availability.
Why we say so
Their published food schedule says “Open Friday 8:00 AM - Sunday 11:00 PM”. Their entry policy says “Party size must be greater than 10 to request group reservation.”.

Superiority Burger
East Village · 119 Avenue A
The vegetarian diner across from Tompkins Square, for a weekend dinner that missed the usual hour.
Food hours
Friday and Saturday restaurant service runs until midnight. Its hours page advertises the full menu seven days a week.
No separate kitchen or last-order cutoff is published. Arrive before closing and confirm last orders, rather than aiming for midnight.
The way in
Ask for the diner counter or back bar, both first come, first served. Some tables take reservations; a seat is not guaranteed.
Why we say so
Their published food schedule says “FULL MENU 7 days a week”. Their entry policy says “The diner counter and back bar are always first-come-first-serve.”.

Maison Premiere
Williamsburg · 298 Bedford Avenue
The Williamsburg oyster bar for a small late supper, not a full dinner after the kitchen menu ends.
Food hours
Oysters until 11:30pm Sunday–Thursday and 12:30am Friday–Saturday. The full menu ends at 10:30pm every day.
Later bar closing does not extend food service. No separate oyster last-order buffer is published; check before a late arrival.
The way in
Ask for a walk-in bar seat, depending on availability. The dining room and garden also take reservations.
Why we say so
Their published food schedule says “FULL MENU SERVED UNTIL 10:30PM EVERYDAY”. Their entry policy says “Walk-ins are always welcome at the bar, as well as in the dining room, depending on availability.”.

What we left out
Corner Bistro, West Village, publishes late room hours, but we did not find a first-party kitchen cutoff. Café Maud, Upper East Side, says its bar runs later than its kitchen, without a kitchen closing time.
Neither belongs in a verified after-11pm food promise on that evidence. A menu link alone does not tell you when the food stops.
For earlier dinners, read the bar-seat guide. For a dated shortlist, tonight’s five are here.
Where this page comes from
Each room has appeared in our free archive. We re-read its food schedule and entry policy for this guide, keeping those checks separate from the original night. No restaurant pays for placement.
