Late Night Eats
We're not going to lie: when Itchy wakes up, we think about breakfast. Then when we're eating breakfast, we think about lunch. Then when we're eating lunch, we're thinking about dinner. And when we eat dinner, we're thinking about brekkie the next day. And so the vicious cycle continues. And continues. And continues.
We don't eat to live, we legitimately live to eat. And just in case you feel the same way, we've decided to solve two slippery situations we often find ourselves in. Want to go out with friends at night but not to a bar or club? There are times (so we hear) that people like to go out late at night without the sole purpose of getting pissed. While that's normally not the Itchy way, we'd be willing to give it a go. Want to know how to make eating the main event? Check out Itchy's faves: Have a hankering for Middle Eastern? Look no further than Sands. Open till 11pm, you can dine al fresco and feel all fancy. (And by al fresco we don't mean outside a typical Lebanese food stand–Sands, being an actual restaurant, has a legit outdoor terrace, you unsophisticated fool.) Head to Bocanova, a Brazilian and Mediterranean restaurant that serves dinner till 11pm and features live Brazilian music on Wednesday nights. Feast on fine Italian fare at Amici until 2am.
So you've been drinking...
We're hoping that the above spots might persuade you to forgo the sketchy gristle-fest at 3am, but if you find that you simply cannot survive without your grimy grub, here are some slightly higher-class establishments.
Pick up some pub fare at The Lord Byron, which stays open till 1am on Friday and Saturday. Added plus: you can even make some corny jokes concerning poetic licenses.
Hit up Clifton Village Fish Bar for typical chippy fare plus unexpected seafood options like clams, calamari, and mussels. Open till midnight.
Don't forget to check out local bars, too; many bars/clubs serve food fairly late. You just don't notice because you're too busy drinking.
So forge on, late night eaters. The night is full of delicious hole-in-the-walls or fancy establishments for you to discover. You just have to know where to look.
