where to get food after a concert
Emily Scherzinger
VENUE: Lee’s Palace RESTAURANT: Pizza Gigi
VENUE: El Mocambo RESTAURANT: Red Room
If you’re looking for well known, good pizza, Pizza Gigi is the place to go. It’s open until 4 AM on weekend nights, so you’ll have time after the show to hang around the venue to stalk the performer and then maybe get pizza with them after? One can only hope.
Since the El Mocambo has apparently been saved from being gutted and will remain as a concert venue, Red Room is the place to hit for eats after the show. Enjoy its gothic design aesthetic, weird background music, and delicious food — everything is good!
VENUE: Sneaky Dee’s RESTAURANT: Mars Food
VENUE: Anywhere RESTAURANT: Any Convenience Store
For the greasiest breakfast in the city, Mars Food is the restaurant to hit. And, lucky for you, you can get their breakfast 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays. While it may also be one of the dirtiest restaurants in the city, the delicious food and bemused ambivalence from the staff makes this diner the best place to drunkenly grab some oddly early morning eats to soak up all that alcohol.
Some (unknowing) people may cringe at the thought, but almost any convenience store in the city sells Jamaican patties, and when you’re hungry and stranded somewhere after a sweaty concert, any food seems good. Get it heated up, chomp down, and enjoy that spicy goodness before wandering home.
