Late Night Munchies In Laurel

It’s 10 p.m. You’ve got serious munchies and the frig, like the kitchen cabinets, are much like your stomach - empty.

The problem is you’re not in New York City, you’re in Laurel where you might think the late night pickins’ are slim. You would be wrong. We drove around the city while most of you were sleeping and found a few pleasant surprises. Laurel has a good number of restaurants open until at least 10 p.m. during the weekdays and extended hours on the weekends. Most eateries close by 9 p.m. on Sunday.

Laurel’s a small town but it has some big town benefits. For one, there are lots of diverse eateries to satisfy a range of palates. From bagels to beef kabobs, tacos to tilapia, salmon to salsa, there is no shortage of great places to eat. Another plus is there are an impressive number of restaurants which are open late and ready to serve more than snack food.
