Where do you grab a late-night bite in sleepy Greater Boston?

Is Boston a sleepy city? No doubt. But we want to hear where you go when you need a meal after midnight.

We’ve heard the complaint lodged against Boston time and time again: We’re a sleepy city.

Is the T to blame? Is it the early last calls at bars and closing times at other businesses? Or are Bostonians more prone to an early bird schedule? We won’t get into that debate here.

What we want to do instead is celebrate the restaurants that keep their doors open late — which have only dwindled since COVID-19 shut down nightlife staples and made going out even harder — despite Boston’s fun-sucking reputation.

If you’ve found yourself ordering a milkshake at a diner, grabbing a slice of pizza to-go, or ordering Chinese takeout for delivery after midnight, we want to hear from you about your restaurant of choice when you just can’t kick those late-night cravings.

If the restaurant includes multiple locations, please be specific and share the address. We recognize that many restaurants don’t often extend their late-night hours into the week so we’ll count it as long as the restaurant is open past midnight at least once a week. 

Fill out the form below, or email [email protected], and we may include your response in a future late-night eats guide.
