Late-night cravings: We all get them. It always seems to happen once you’re tucked into bed, and your mind starts wandering to all the sweets you could be indulging in. Or it’s after a long night out with friends that you instruct the Uber driver to stop off at a 24-hour diner.
But what makes late-night cravings the worst is hunting for good places still open after 9 p.m. That’s why we found a few local options open late to satisfy your sweet tooth—and we threw a few savory options into the mix, too. Share your favorite late-night spots in the comments so we can try them, too.
The Chimes: From its hot fudge brownie sundae to its Cheesecake du Jour, this local restaurant and bar isn’t just known for its beer. The rest of The Chimes’ popular menu items are available late as well, if you’re into something more savory. Open until 2 a.m. Monday-Saturday and 11:30 p.m. on Sundays.
