Where are the Newark late night diner spots? There appears to be nothing, at least not by UMD. You’d think between the hospital, the colleges, and the court complex there would be something.

Is that only 24hr food spot?

Altas horas nearby is 24 hours too last I checked but yeah, COVID killed a lot of the 24 hour spots, it really sucks

I moved a few years ago. Did it even kill the "suspicious yellow rice with equally suspicious sticky chicken that only copious amounts of hotsauce can fix" 24/7 Chinese restaurants?

LOL I avoid Chinese restaurants in Newark like it’s my job so I can’t offer any insight on that one fortunately

Yeah, understandable. I definitely ate a lot of that cheap, shady Chinese food in my younger party years.

BTW, Chinatown in Harrison is your best bet for good Chinese food. Their sushi is great too, if not a little pricey.

I used to like them but they went way downhill if you haven’t been there lately

Yeah, it's been many years. That sucks to hear, they were the only good Chinese food within delivery range. I wonder if they changed owners or something.

Covid killed alot of 24/7 places even most of NYC is dead after 12am now...even busy highway spots shut down after 1 or 2am on weekends...Hopefully that trend reverses after inflation goes down.

I hope so, bc it really sucks. Almost all former 24/7 spots are closed by midnight. Most 10 p.m. these days. You're right...even in NYC, and forget trying to find 24/7 diners. Jersey used to be full of them. Such a damn shame.

I think once inflation eases some more next year you'll start to see 24/7 return on weekends...and by 2024 everywhere.

NEW York aside from the lack of late night options is back to normal and people seem unfazed by the higher prices.

I'm there pretty frequently. Will be there tonight. Back to normal on a few levels, but changed in others. Not historically, but as compared to the last 2 decades or so. It seems to have a little more grit, and a few more quiet corners.

I feel the grit areas only expanded from a few neighborhoods like Les or hells kitchen
