Generously portioned Latin American dishes like pernil, rice and beans, a slew of stews, savory pastries, roast chicken, sausages, and sandwiches are on offer at this Bronx spot that’s open 24/7. The cash-only restaurant includes a brisk take-out set-up, plus limited seating for sit-down meals.

This Upper West Side stalwart, not to be confused with Papaya King across Central Park, serves up crisp, extremely cheap hot dogs. Grab a frank or two plus those namesake tropically flavored drinks, surrounded by awesomely kitschy signage, at all hours.

Feast on Jewish classics like matzah ball soup, massive sandwiches stacked with house-cured pastrami and equally well-regarded corned beef, and rugelach at the Murray Hill institution. It might not be as revered as Katz’s, but it’s been around for over five decades, and, unlike Katz’s and its weekends-only 24/7 hours, Sarge’s is open all the time, 365 days per year.

Dig into Korean classics like bibimbap, seafood pancakes, myriad stews, noodle dishes, and casseroles at this round-the-clock option. It’s crowded and lively, sure, but more intimate and less clubby than the bulk of Koreatown’s offerings.

Procure steak frites, onion soup gratinee, escargot, Croque Monsieur, and other French bistro anchors at this Gramercy restaurant situated in a prime corner location. The prices are steeper than most late-night options, though it does provide decidedly sophisticated off-hours noshing: think moules marinières and short rib bourguignon at sunrise.

The East Village mainstay serves up delicious Ukrainian classics like blintzes, stuffed cabbage, and borscht. It’s especially delightful when it’s the crack of dawn and a plate of handmade pierogi, paired with sauteed onions, apple sauce, and sour cream, is on offer; bonus points for Veselka’s option to mix and match flavors like potato, sauerkraut and mushroom, and nontraditional creations such as arugula and goat cheese. Other options include grilled kielbasa sausages, Ukrainian meatballs, veal goulash, and potato pancakes.

Appearances can be deceiving. While this looks like an average, open-at-all-hours bodega from the outside, the Alphabet City spot has a zany smorgasbord of sandwiches and wraps. Many of the affordable creations sport quirky names and wacky ingredient combinations, like the “2009 Obama,” a wrap filled with lemon grilled chicken, grilled pepper, egg, zucchini, portobello mushrooms, fried carrot, onion, balsamic vinegar, and fresh rosemary, or the “Mr. Bloomburger,” with curry or lemon chicken, avocado, seafood salad, spinach, cucumber, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, watercress, and fresh jalapeño pepper sauce. There are also plenty of classics, like bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches and reubens.

This Astor Place 24/7 option isn’t destination-worthy, but it’s pretty centrally located and has over 30 burgers to choose from, plus the expected range of standard-issue diner classics. The milkshakes are a more satisfying bet, if a decadently creamy 4 a.m. treat is the move.

There’s a mix of classic and more experimental fillings at Empanada Mama, but across the board, they’re flavorful, deftly executed, and really fresh. Farther uptown and in search of an excellent empanada? The Hell’s Kitchen location is slated to reopen in a new space in February or March, after a fire destroyed its original digs.

Expect big portions of Yemen cuisine around the clock at the only 24/7 option on Atlantic Avenue’s heavily Middle Eastern stretch between Clinton and Court Streets. The sparse subterranean space, dotted with a few tables, turns out solid lamb dishes (in stews, sandwiches, and more) and piquant spreads with free salad and lamb broth soup, plus huge rounds of bread to scoop and dip in everything.

A Mexican diner and bakery right near the Grand Street L stop, Grand Morelos slings delicious tortas, tacos, tamales, and more. For those that assess authenticity by the presence of offal on a menu, Grand Morelos doesn’t disappoint: There’s lengua on offer, alongside chorizo, chicken tinga, and shrimp in garlic sauce.
