Featured on Thrillist: "Because it’s late and nobody at Clerys is cool with you crashing in the basement, cap off your night out with a giant plate of 3am pancakes (or a sausage or a slice or a chickpea fritter?). And to help you find food without wandering aimlessly down Dartmouth Street, we rounded up the absolute 3 best spots in the Hub for late-night eats."

1. Tasty Burger | Harvard Square 

"There’s a reason it’s called Tasty Burger and is open until 4am... because they know what the kids want. At 3:37am. And believe us, there will be TONS of them of there. Just be sure wash down that burger with a milkshake or a Cheerwine, and you’ll go to bed thoroughly satisfied."

2. El Triunfo | South End

"We don’t know about you, but made-from-scratch tacos sounds pretty good any time of day... and especially after 2am. And that’s what you’re getting at El Triunfo. Steak, shrimp, or ground chicken tacos with pico de gallo, onions, cilantro, hot sauce, jalapeños, guac, and sour cream. Round out your order with pupusas and tamales. We’re done here."

3. South Street Diner | Chinatown

"South Street Diner has been THE go-to spot for night owls since 1947, and they wouldn’t have it any other way. Like a good neighbor, this greasy spoon is always there for you with their signature Monte Christo, Chocolate Fantasy French Toast, and blueberry pancakes. For savory hankerings, the Supreme burger, turkey club, and the Steak Tip Bomb are ample fuel for rehashing your evening’s adventures."

Nick Offerman (“Parks & Recreation”) stars as larger-than-life character Ignatius J. Reilly, the Don Quixote of the French Quarter. He’s overweight, arrogant, eccentric, and still living with his mother in New Orleans in the 1960s. Adapted from the cult classic, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, A Confederacy of Dunces is a hilarious wild ride, filled with colorful characters and comic misadventures.
