Shailesh Mishra: Awesome place for late night dinner. I liked everything on the menu.
Jeremy Thomas: The late night Mecca of the Amsterdam bars. 24 hour croque Monsieur with French onion soup is the best late night!
Liz Dell: UWS staple - it's open 24-hrs and it's NOT a diner! Good for late night dinner, they have a pared down menu after 11pm. Also, full bar and good espresso.

Liz Dell: Great for brunch and also a nice late night dinner spot when the crowds have died down. Solid cocktails. Don't miss the burrata starter, trust me.
Loris Uzan: Really good place for late night dinners after the opera. Mac n cheese day or night is always the way to go isn't it?
Nenzo Cruz: Our go to place for a chill late night impromptu date. Weird wine glasses though.

Margarita: Late night biscuits with their special butter....tastes like breakfast!
Lesley K: Great fresh cocktails & liquor selection, open late. Friday late nights fun & not too packed. All the southern influenced dishes are best, and the seafood good quality too. Biscuits are a must-try.
ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: This is one of the most popular spots on the UWS and you don't need to like pickles to enjoy this southern hot spot. Best brunch on the UWS and a great place to grab a drink and late night feast

Hot Dog Joint · Lincoln Square · 246 tips and reviews
Village Voice: This relentlessly yellow hot dog joint hops 24 hours a day and is a symbol of Upper West Side cheap eats. Mustard is pretty much required; the only dilemma is choosing between the onions or the kraut.
What's Good Here: Gray's is a NY institution. Come in on a late night and order the two hot dog special with a piña colada drink to wash it down.
Derek Erb: My favourite hot dog place in all of NYC (and I was born and raised in Manhattan).Very simple. But excellent & cheap hot dogs. Try mustard & sauerkraut. I recommend Coconut over classic Papaya.

Tiki Bar · Upper West Side · 12 tips and reviews
Carol: Very fun, themed bar. Can get tight and you’ll have to sit on beach chairs. Cocktails are good. Def get a $5 (+tax) chicken sandwich. The hot honey is perfect for late night munchies 😋
Paige C: Such a fun bar and even more fun during the holidays! Lots of themed drinks and food available.
Kate: Everything’s great here. The drinks are fantastic (both frozen and non) and the staff are the best. The $5 fried chicken sandwiches are the best deal in the city. 100/10 recommend!

Natalie Shell: Cozy, knowledgeable and friendly staff, great whiskey—perfect for a date or late night drink.
Adam M: Whisky of course. A narrow galley bar and a few tables in the back. Friendly and knowledgeable Scottish bartenders will show you a new fave whisky or mix a killer cocktail. Great beer list too.
Nicolas Vandeviver: Alan is the most likeable and knowledgeable bartender in the UWS - some even say in the city, or the world - when it comes the whisky. Don't hesitate to ask him for advice on the perfect whisky.

Mon: The braised short rib hash is to die for, I will keep dreaming about it everyday for the rest of my life.
Zach Hamed: Hidden gem on Upper West Side with American/Mediterranean cuisine. Chicken, risotto, and codfish all delicious. Beautiful high ceilings and old fashioned decor.
Tracy Hixon: The special cocktail of the day had a huge jalapeno flavored ice cube in it, try it! Tasty octopus, salads and pasta in a relaxed atmosphere
