24 Hour Restaurants Throughout The U.S.

The United States is full of big cities with late-night reputations that people from around the world flock to. 24 hour restaurants are an important component of these all-night party towns because without them there would be no way to finish off a late-night of dancing at a club or socializing at a bar. This article discusses the various options for 24/7 dining in America's favorite party cities.

If there is a going to be a discussion about food and partying, New Orleans has to be in the mix. This city is well-known for its wild parties like Mardis Gras, and its unique Creole and Cajun cuisine. Although most of the city's famous eateries operate under traditional hours, among the most famous is one of the 24 hour restaurants called Cafe Du Monde. This cafe, which has been open for more than a century, is best known for its French style donut-like pastry the beignet. Tourists and locals alike flock to this late-night hot spot for the fried treat, which is sprinkled with confectioner's sugar and accompanied by the contrasting bitter chicory coffee. Being open for 24 hours and centrally located in the Vieux Carre makes this a great place to go after a long night on Bourbon Street.

Another city that does not get much shut-eye is Los Angeles. This city of 3.8 million has so many mouths to feeds that it is guaranteed to have a variety of 24 hour restaurants, right? Yes, this city is full of them. One great example is Fred 62. This restaurant is known for its high quality food, gigantic menu, and decent prices. Here you can get eggs with toast and hash browns for as little as $6. Being one of the most diverse cities in the world, it is no surprise that LA is also home to Canters- a Jewish-style deli featuring everything from corned beef to matzo ball soup. East Coasters love going to Canters to get some late-night grub that reminds them of home, LA natives go there because they like great food at reasonable prices.

Last but definitely not least is the city that never sleeps: New York. It is difficult to mention New York food and ignore pizza. New York style pizza is known for its thin crispy crust which is usually folded in half to eat due to its big size. Two great 24 hour restaurants in New York serve pizza- 99 Fresh and 2 Brothers Pizza. They are in a turf battle for dollar a slice pizza, but most people love both. Both restaurants feature the famous New York style cheese pizza that the city is known for made with tomato sauce and mozzarella. It does not matter whether you are a student, tourist, cab driver or native, everyone enjoys great pizza for a dollar.
