1. BLUE RIBBON BRASSERIE
The Beef Marrow with Oxtail Marmalade has been luring chefs here for over a decade.
You May Spot: Chef Gabe Thompson (dell'anima, L'Artusi)
"Consistent food and flawless service until 4am, 7 nights a week."
2. SAKE BAR HAGI
This subterranean Times Square hideaway is great for Japanese pub fare: yakitori to udon to dried skate fin.
You May Spot: Chef Michael Anthony (Gramercy Tavern)
"My late night cravings lead me straight to Sake Bar Hagi."
3. DADDY-O
It's all about the burger and cocktails at this West Village chef hang.
You May Spot: Chef John Fraser (Dovetail, What Happens When)
"I love the vibe there. I go for the Negroni with Aperol instead of Campari, they serve it in something that feels like a fishbowl."
4. SUSHI SEKI
This is where you'll see sushi chefs from around town eating, as well as people who know their fish. If you can, sit at the sushi bar.
You May Spot: Chef Dave Pasternack (Esca)
"I like Seki, it's good. It's open late at night and after work is when you do most of your dining."
5. PHO 32
Serving Vietnamese noodle soup and Japanese shabu-shabu all night long.
You May Spot: Pastry Chef Johnny Iuzzini (Jean-Georges)
"I don't get out the door to dinner at normal hours, so I tend to eat late. You go in and everyone is just coming out of the karaoke bars. I always get the # 6, the raw beef pho."
