O'Brien's Really Good Food may have overshot a little with its audacious name—we're thinking O'Brien's Not Bad Food may have been a bit more appropriate. The decor of this deli reminds us of a hospital cafeteria, with muted pink, green, and beige walls and random tchotchkes arranged on each table. The elderly staff are very sweet but slow-moving. The deli selection at O'Brien's is ordinary, and the size of the kitchen leaves you disappointed that they don't offer more choices—though several homemade soups are featured each day on a rotating basis.  Overall, O'Brien's is a decent mom-and-pop kind of deli if you need a break from GQ (and who doesn't ?); just don't expect that you'll be getting anything extraordinary. (Open M-F 7a-2p.)

“HamFam” is a party—at two in the morning when the only test you have to worry about is a breathalyzer. Although newly renovated, HamFam closely resembles a 1980’s Michael Jackson music video. Skip the slimy browning fruit, be warned that the cheese fries are a bit oily (make that soaked in oil) and know that your large orange juice—though delicious—will be the size of the shot glass you used earlier. Focus instead on their breakfasts for a solid midnight snack. It’s an experience, but don’t be surprised if your designated driver insists on staying behind the wheel. (Always open!)

When the late-night munchies strike, only a true diner will do—and the Gate 7 Diner, downtown, is the real deal.  From its shiny silver siding to the classics on its menu to its 24/7 hours, the Gate 7 will satisfy the most discriminating diner connoisseur.  Seriously: what is bertter than 3am Guns ‘n Roses from your own, boothside jukebox?  (Always open.)

Billy’s Downtown Diner is diner grub taken to the next level. Located in the heart of historic Bethlehem, Billy’s is a place where they might not know your name, but Billy himself may very well greet and seat you. The menu has an eclectic mix of dishes all under $10.  Our favorites are the omelets, served with home fries and toast and priced around $5. This isn’t, sadly, the place to get brkeafast for dinner—Billy’s closes at 4pm on weekdays and 3pm on weekends. (Open M-F 7a-4p; Sa-Su 7a-3p.)
