You’ve been out on the town for more hours than you’d care to admit. And that’s OK; you don’t have to say anything. Just restore yourself at one of these late-night food spots.
Gom Tang E
Twenty-four hours a day, there is a place to get hearty Korean soups and stews. There are few things that will give you a second wind like a bolstering bowl of spicy braised oxtails. 13840 E. Braddock Rd., Centreville
Amphora Diner
Looking for late-night waffles? Or perhaps you feel more like a London broil sandwich. You can get either, plus some delightful baked goods, at this diner from 7 a.m. to midnight. 1151 Elden St., Herndon
Spanky’s Shenanigans
Look, we all know that you’re craving fat and calories right now. So why not really go for it and get a hot open-faced roast beef sandwich or shepherd’s pie just before the kitchen closes at 1 a.m.? 538 E. Market St., Leesburg
Zouroona
This hookah bar stays open until 2 a.m. on weekends, giving you plenty of time to get to the bars, then crush a stack of lahm bi ajeen (Lebanese flatbread topped with spiced ground beef). 13641 Minnieville Rd., Woodbridge
Kabob Palace
Not only is this Pakistani kebab spot halal, but it also never closes. In the wee hours, a karahi is sure to make you feel safe for the drive home. And after you’ve slept in, why not treat yourself to a leftover chapli kebab? 2315 S. Eads St., Arlington
