Boston's Best Late Night Bites
2am in Boston used to be the worst time to be looking for a bite. Picture this, the home team won the game, you’ve just gotten out of work, or you danced past last call and it’s time to go home. Hungry? You best option was to drive over a bridge for some fast food.
Now, our late night options are thriving, if not competing with each other. In honor of National Potato Day, we’re featuring Boston’s Best Late Night Bites.
The Late Night Food Trucks:
The City of Boston’s new program allows your favorite food trucks to utilize public space near where you’re out late to offer a tasty bites. Find them in the Theater District, Fenway, Copley, and Northeastern. The trucks rotate so you’ll have different options throughout the week, serving up until 3am.
Bova’s Bakery
Bova’s isn’t just late night, they’re 24 hours! Bova’s has been expertly making Italian pastries for over 90 years. Offering classic pastries, pizzas, fresh bread and oversized subs you can pick up a bite any time of day, 365 days a year.
The Galway House
If you live in JP, you’ve walked by this neighborhood Irish bar 100 times, but if you’ve never stepped inside you are missing out on some delicious handcrafted plates and fresh seafood. Everything on the menu is good, but it’s the specials board you want to order from (we won’t tell you our favorite, because they’ll run out even earlier!)
