Bizarro wraps, tasty falafel, and a massive pile of cheese-covered nachos are the hallmarks here.
Skip the bad slices for the the messy meatball hero, which at $5 for 12 inches of sandwich is one of the cheapest eats on the Lower East Side.
The congee is served bubbling hot in a terracotta casserole, steaming with the aroma of whatever's added on top. It's hearty, soothing, and everything you want in the late night hours.
No matter how you choose to eat them, the meatballs are solid: juicy, well-seasoned, and tasty, if not life-changing. Very good with cheap beer.
Cheap drink deals and satisfying, unusual bar bites like steamed crabs, artichokes, and po boys.
Kebabs can be dry here at this barebones late night spot, but we're fans of the oily-satisfying fried eggplant sandwich.
Venerated late night Chinatown spot. Roast pork (and skin-on roast pig), noodles, fried soft shell crabs, and stir fried garlic chives are smart orders here.
Solid tacos (including fish) and fat, juicy tortas are all good at this funky taqueria.
A homey spot for Greek souvlaki done right. The pita is fluffy, the hummus is fresh, and the fries are topped with feta and oregano.
