The restaurants listed here all happen to be located in Brooklyn and Manhattan — not a bad commute for many!
1. Champs Diner: Oh, how we love Champs. This is a great diner located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and is open Monday through Sunday 9am to 12am — Yeah, you heard (read) right! Craving milkshakes, burgers, and sandwiches? Craving pancakes, waffles, and tofu scrambled? Then add this place to your list. The mac n cheese and mozzarella sticks are also lovely and cheesy, without the cruelty and guilt! This laid back, hipster joint is sure to please.
2. VSPOT: Want some vegan Latin flavor? We know we do! VSPOT has two locations: one in St Marks, Manhattan and one in Park Slope, Brooklyn. They have slightly different menus, so check ’em out before choosing the location you desire. They have empanadas, quesadillas, tacos, burritos, burgers, sandwiches, rice and beans — you mention it! We’re drooling just thinking of all these options. Want to know what else is cool? The St Marks location has free stand up comedy shows once a week in the evening, check out their social media for more info.
