When you’re out in Greenwich Village seeing music or comedy, there’s a good chance you’ll exceed your two drink-minimum. Having a solid late-night option for greasy food is vital, and Butter Smashburgers, open until 2am on the weekends, should be on your list. No wider than a subway car, the MacDougal Street spot has a tight menu of cheeseburgers, a chicken tender sandwich, veggie burger, fries, and ice cream. The most expensive item here is the double smashburger, which is a satisfying meal at $9, but the real hit is the chicken tender sandwich, which is coated in a slightly smoky chili oil. It’s a great after-hours snack, and pairs well with a crushed peanut and caramel sauce-topped vanilla soft serve.
