Comfort Food Classics
Trendy Table Hotspots
A loud, packed-in East Village institution where the move is to share a few pastas and let the room’s celebratory momentum carry the night. It’s not about perfection or space—it’s about big, satisfying Italian comfort and a wine-forward rhythm that keeps tables hanging around.

8.1
A real late-night problem-solver: deli speed with a menu that goes beyond standard bodega habits, so you can get something filling without a sit-down. It’s best when you commit to one signature sandwich and a quick add-on rather than over-ordering like it’s a full meal service.

Pho #1 sandwich, Banh mi-style sandwich, Fresh smoothie
What makes it special: Late-night deli energy with signature sandwiches people seek out.

Must-Try Dishes:
Fries, Chicken tenders, Bar burger
What makes it special: A true 4am hang with legit snacks, not just chips.
