we will be arriving late on december 11th approximately 11:30pm. staying at on the ave on 79th st. is there a restaurant close by? we like all kinds of food.


thanks

Nice Matin, corner of 79th and Amsterdam. www.nicematinnyc.com

This is an area filled with restaurants, some open 24 hours. Within 5 blocks you literally have about 50 restaurants.
I'm not sure Nice Matin will be open at that time, or if that's the kind of meal you want late at night.
What are you looking for?

There are a bunch of places in that area that serve late. If you go to menupages.com and select the west 70s and west 80s, then click on late night it will tell you which are open and you can see the actual menus.

We stayed at the Lucerne in October and NiceMatin is downstairs. To my memory it was not open late.

Arriving on 79th Street at 11:30 pm and asking if there are restaurants nearby does not necessarily translate into, "Are there nearby restaurants that are open at 11:30 pm?"

On the Avenue is actually at 77th & Broadway. For just a bite, the Manhattan Diner is right there. http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/manhattan-diner/

I'm sorry I guess I didn't make myself clear. We will be arriving after 11:30 pm so I am looking for any restaurant close to On The Ave that stays open late. As I said in my previous post we like all kinds of food. I realize there are a lot of restaurants in that area but we are not familiar with any of them. The three of us didn't want to walk around an unfamiliar area at midnight.

Thanks

Like mclaurie said, try Manhattan Diner. It is literally steps away from On the Ave and is open 24 hours.

If you want more of a dinner than a diner, Monaco (mediterranean) on Amsterdam near 80th serves until 1 am - 2 am on Fri and Sat.

Manhattan Diner is fine is you just want somethig basic - burger or omelet or something.

It depedns on where you're coming from and howyuor clock is set - ifyou want a big meal or just a light one.

Thanks for all your input. We will check out Monaco, it sounds interesting and it's close.
