Open til 4 AM, most crowded around 1 or 2 AM, this is the restaurant in New York where chefs go to unwind for food after they finish their shifts at their own restaurants. An electic menu, with southern style fried chicken right after maine lobster, you’re sure to find something for everyone. No reservations, though, and only one (or maybe two) tables for parties of six.

Don’t get this restaurant confused with Blue Ribbon Bakery (if you like bread pudding, go there), or Blue Ribbon Sushi (overpriced). Same owners, but Blue Ribbon (just that, nothing else) beats the other two out of the water.
