    La Bottega

    Balthazar

    80 Spring Street, 212-965-1414

    The best boudin noir in town after midnight.

  • Robin Raisfeld's Pick

    Schiller's Liquor Bar

    131 Rivington Street, 212-260-4555

    You’ll have to go very late indeed for a decent shot at snagging that corner table and a great 2 a.m. Welsh rarebit.

  • Rob Patronite's Pick

    Rai Rai Ken

    116 East 27th Street, 212-447-7733

    Tremendous bowls of steaming ramen bailed out of great cauldrons till 2:30 a.m.
