Best Spots for Late Night Food in Boston
You’ve been there before — a late night out with friends when hunger strikes on the trip home, and you’re struggling to find an open restaurant. We feel your pain, so we’ve come up with a handy, and delicious guide to Boston’s late night food scene! Whether you’ve been out on the town for hours or you’re venturing out on a midnight adventure, never fear, there are plenty of nighttime options to choose from.
Hojoko (Fenway)
If you’re looking for a lively and energetic experience, Hojoko is the place to stop by in the Fenway area! This Japanese tavern is a great place to grab a midnight snack (and maybe another drink — we won’t tell) and listen to some awesome live rock and roll. They have plenty of Japanese classics like sushi and fried rice, but we insist you get adventurous and try the Brains on Crack, or the Kare Pan Fry Bread. The best part? They’re open until 2AM all week long.
Dumpling Palace (Back Bay)
Planning to go bar hopping in Back Bay this weekend? If you’re in the mood for some quick and savory Chinese, you’ll want to hit up Dumpling Palace. This bustling little spot is open really late (2:45 AM!) and is perfect for those late night post-bar cravings. They make some killer dumplings, as the name would suggest, but be sure to try any of their many noodle dishes, or the chicken wings. Pro tip: Dumpling Palace is almost certainly going to be busy during the late night hours, so don’t forget to order ahead!
Nicole’s Pizza (South End)
Pizza is the most classic nighttime snack of them all, and if that’s what you’re craving this weekend, then hop on over to Nicole’s Pizza in the South End. Nicole’s is conveniently located right on Tremont street, and is open until 11PM. This spot offers some of the best pizza in the city, so be sure to go for some of their signature house-made pies, or just stick with a classic cheese. Either way, you’ll be full and satisfied that you chose this spot to satisfy that pizza craving.
El Triunfo (South and North End)
El Triunfo serves up their highly-acclaimed Mexican and Salvadoran eats in two convenient locations (the South End and North End) until 3 AM on weekends. They also offer delivery and takeout until 4:15 AM on Friday and Saturdays! Our favorite menu offering is the Fajitas, but regulars at these spots love the nachos. If you ask us, there’s nothing better than some midnight Mexican food after a night of dancing.
