The Return of Late Night Dining in New York City

On the first warm night of spring, around 11 p.m., the dining room at Blue Ribbon Brasserie sat mostly empty. And it didn’t bother me a bit, since I had coupe filled with shrimp cocktail, a flute brimming with crémant, and half a fried chicken set before me.Brothers Eric and Bruce Bromberg opened the restaurant in 1992 as an ode to Paris’ 24-hour Au Pied de Cochon. “We wanted to do something for people who didn’t have normal schedules,” says Bromberg. “And we kind of did it for ourselves, to have a place where we could go and eat what we wanted whenever we wanted.”
