Fave NYC Late Night Spots

Updated: Jun 16, 2025

Dear Readers, 


I’ve spent the last few months going out trying to find late night spots that have good vibes, good food and/or drinks, or a good atmosphere.  Here’s my list of top places to go after dark in NYC. 

  • Book Club Bar 

    • 12 am close on weekdays, 1 am close on weekends. 

    • Variety of drinks 

    • Book store 

    • Coffee shop 

    • Indoor and outdoor seating

      • However, they close the outdoor seating after a certain time, don’t allow laptops after 6, and it’s a small space. 

  • Ray’s Candy Store 

    • Variety of food, drinks, desserts, etc 

    • Ray(the cutest man ever) 

    • My favorite on the menu is the fried oreos 

    • Open 24hrs 

      • Small space and no seating 

  • 8-Bit Bites 

    • Burgers, fries, milkshakes, etc 

    • Games 

    • Open til 2am at most locations, some later 

      • Food isn’t bad, but also not something I ever crave? 

  • The Stand 

    • Comedy shows

    • Dinner, brunch, breakfast, bar, etc 

    • Large space with lots of seating 

    • Closes 12 am on weekdays, 2am on weekends

      • A little pricey compared to the rest of the list 

I’m going to be reviewing some more places to go for date nights, girls nights, solo dates, etc all over New York. Any recs?
