Yes, you can go places, but what about me!?  I am sitting in mid-city wondering why I can't have anything delivered to me late at night.  Is this a joke?  Do I want to always eat Dominoes or Papa Johns?  Step your game up Nola.  lame.  I would love to hear your feedback so I can applaud everyone who agrees with me and systematically dismantle anyone who doesn't.

Shaddap. Live near Verti Mart.
There...dismantle that. BTW. I could not care less if you try so Wooot. Shaddap. :)

Ps..Should have posted this to the Drunken thread, numb-nuts.

P.S. I am totally being a doofus. But yeah...Delivery is hard at late night. Maybe NOLA will catch up sometime soon. In the mean time, there is a delivery service attached to lots of mid city, FQ and garden district places that might help. Grubhub.com

Mikimoto delivers but I dont know when they stop. Go out & eat bar food like a normal New Orleanian

Little Tokyo and Hoshun are open until 2. St Charles Tavern serves a full menu 24/7. Camellia Grill is open til about 2. Balcony Bar is open til 4 and has pizza. You just have to know where to look and be willing to leave your street.

I don't know the delivery radius, but pita pit in uptown delivers until 4 am.

The reason most places don't deliver that late is because of drunks. Either the delivery drivers are getting drunk, or the regular drunks are preparing to crash into the delivery drivers.

That would make perfect sense if someone other than John said it.

I know there are places open late, but they do not deliver to Bayou St. John.  Yeah I can go to a bar and eat, but when I am already intoxicated like I was when I posted this last night it probably isn't a great idea to drive.  When I want food delivered to me I am usually drunk and it is usually late.  That doesn't mean that I don't have a discerning palate.  I am glad you all live right next door to an open restaurant.

I think that is a good argument for always having leftover chicken wings in your fridge. :)

Amen, Bobby. My favorite drunk food either Angeli on Decatur with Jeff and Vicky or the food already in my fridge. Alcohol makes everything I already have taste 1000% better.

Or, ya know, order the pizza before 10p and proceed with the getting sauced later.

You are all so insensitive.

Is that a synonym for sober?

You better look like getting your take out before you start home drinkin' or get some Stouffer's frozen dinners for when you get hungry. Or, you know... learn to cook. :)

I must have been one really good boy scout in a previous life...

I agree with Marielle in being prepared. Having a stash of frozen dinners for nights in, or after a night out is a great idea. Waiting for late night delivery can take FOREVER. Its always taken me over an hour for me to get my food.

You are all missing the point.  Stuffing my freezer with Hungry Man's may sate my late night hunger, but I have lived in four other cities that damn delivered a wide variety of food late, late.  Yes, I can cook.  Yes I can errr drive to a bar that has food....screeeee crash.  I can totally prep my weekend so that I know EXACTLY when I will be intoxicated.  Great.  None of this quells my immediate problem when I find myself couch intoxicated after a night out.  Wait, wait you all solved my problem!  I am supposed to pre-cook as much drinking food as I want all week so that ,aybe once a month when I say "damn, I want delivery" I don't have to worry about this city being an abject failure in the late night scene.  Oh, I love that 24hr diner...oh wait, there isn't one.

Winning

Also, Vicky, you would made a tremendous Boy Scout.

Damn you IPad.  I always "made" spelling mistakes on you.

There are several 24 hour diners in New Orleans, dude. You haven't lived until you've had the St. Charles Tavern at 4a.

I think you are missing the point. Every city is a trade-off. This one might not have delivery after 10pm where you live, but most don't let you walk down the street drinking an adult beverage, either.

So suck it up, sugar-plum.

this is an interesting question....though I don't really know what I would expect for late night delivery.
With the GNO, I think we "fail" at a lot metropolitan amenities (technology, infrastructure, government, swank), but if you really wanted...er...EXPECTED those things I'm not sure why you'd be in Louisiana, much less NOLA.  This area really is so much more about community than convenience (get out of the house rather than trying to be the Jetsons).

If I want something late night and something more than corporate microwavable meals (i.e. Dominos), I would think I would want the experience of going somewhere (or making it myself).  What you're looking for is Verti Marte, but with delivery.

Bud's Broiler at City Park and Morning Call in City Park are both 24/7 and if you stop being lazy and jump on your bike you can go and pick it up and deliver it to yourself but make sure to tip yourself really well.  You can also walk to Bayou Beer Garden and get food decently late if you don't want to leave Bayou St. John.  Why waste perfectly good inebriation by laying on a couch (unless its Josh's party couch)?  It sounds like you need to practice drinking more and get better at it to learn the way to eat, drink and be merry NOLA style.  Cheese fries always help to keep the party going until at least 8am.

Hold on, let me grease up the chain on my single speed track bike and ride in the middle of the road like every other hipster douche that lives in this city.  Drinking practice? I have plenty, but I know my limits and when manning a vehicle , be it 2 or 4 wheels is a bad idea.  The apologists for NOLA are missing the point.  In a food rich city that pulls out all of the stops for music, booze, and food, can't we figure out a way to extend the food part past bed time a few hours for those of us that went to happy hour on Friday and wanted to spend the rest of the night in?

The general consensus seems to be that I have traded aspects of civil society to enjoy a "culture rich" environment.  Why shouldn't we have it all?  Are you satisfied settling when there are so many simple improvements that could be made?  Every time you bottom out on a massive pothole do you just giggle and shake your head "silly New Orleans"?

Stephen, don't ride one of those bullshit hipster bikes. Those people are a pest. I tried driving through the Bywater one day and those jackasses were everywhere. They had the nerve to stare at me ironically when I drove my truck directly at them.

I really think the problem is supply and demand. If there were enough demand surely someone would deliver. Have you thought about calling a taxi company and asking them to pick up food? A buddy used to have a driver pick him up beer and cigarettes so I know there's some sort of precedent. I bet it would cost a fortune though.

Funny you say that about taxis, John. When I worked at K&B years ago, elderly customers would call and the manager would pull the few items that they might add to their prescriptions; they would pay with a K&B credit card and a taxi cab driver would come pick up the bag from the pharmacy counter.

Everything old is new again.

I stare at John ironically all the time...

The food after 10pm comes in the form of food trucks. You have to be cool enough to know where they are. If you're cool like me you would check out Johnny with his Jamaican jerk chicken. Usually he's parked on the opposite side of Dragon's Den.

No one is listening. He knows there are food places open. He wants delivery. Am I the only one offering legitimate advice?

I think once he said he would "systematically dismantle anyone who doesn't agree with him" then the hunting season began.

Haha. Maybe it was I who didn't read the whole post. Carry on.

I skim, John, you actually read every single word and take notes before writing a repor...reply.
He wants delivery? Steve, pucker up buttercup and go get your food. Lazy-ass.

Lol. I love It Suzanne, the sober remark. But yeah NOLA, in all the partying we do & foodies we have, we just don't have the market for delivery. Especially when theres a restaurant or food available on every other corner. Plus, things have changed in this post-katrina culture. Sooooooo like everyone is saying, while you're out & about, grab some zoo-zoos to feed the booze.   Easy-peasy.  (No John, we're listening...)

Wait. There are other major cities? I thought Nola was the center of the universe. As for hipsters, one is too many.

I live in the Garden District and we have a few late delivery options but I never use them except one time after the Irish Channel St. Patrick's parade when I actually couldn't stand up after some evil person forced me to down a whole fifth of Bushmills and I needed to recuperate awhile and I called for delivery from Tacos Borrachos and I think they delivered to Mid-City also but I don't think they are around anymore as their website and Facebook are all gone.  I really much more miss the 24 hour grocery stores we had pre-Katrina as I like making groceries around 3am to avoid the crowds at the check out.

"The apologists for NOLA are missing the point.  The general consensus seems to be that I have traded aspects of civil society to enjoy a "culture rich" environment.  Why shouldn't we have it all?"

if we could second line party with live music with rich food from our laptop at home...............this would be Disneyland.
There is a tempo this city operates on.  It is both a curse and a blessing.  
Why push for us to be Cincinnati?

I'm sorry you are frustrated with how this city is, but it is reality. Maybe others have a more palatable answer for you, but I figured a part of the charm of this place is the fact that everyone is so connected with each other (not because we are a mecca of efficiency).

I would much rather walk down to bar or restaurant to eat a late snack than stay all holed up inside my house anyways and that seems to be what the majority of NOLA folks also like so it just seems there isn't much of a food delivery culture or demand here as MANY delivery options have come and gone over the years but only a few ever remain operating.  Our 24/7 bars and restaurants seem to draw people out to them more than create a demand for delivery.  I used a lot of late night drunk delivery when I was in college where the bars closed really early but I much prefer the interesting insane things you see eating out late at places in NOLA much more than hiding away inside my house.  Lots of folks go to happy hour on Friday in NOLA but very few I know want to spend the rest of the night in as that's just the warm up before the serious fun begins.  Given a choice of having lots of delivery options and lots of people staying in or having lots of people out with lots of open places late that don't deliver I'm definitely going with the NOLA model of having lots of people out.  Its just a cultural difference and if there is a market for delivery in your area then it will get filled.  You can always move Uptown and have Balcony Bar delivery but its a whole lot more interesting and fun to actually go to the bar to eat in my humble opinion.  You have plenty of time to "stay in" when you turn 90 but for now you need to be out living life.

Matthew, if it makes you feel any better, Cincinnati doesn't have much to offer by way of late-night eats, either.

Hang it up, Stephen. After 10, it's shitty food delivery for you.

Yummy Yummy Chinese delivers and is open until til 11pm on the weekends: yummyyummyneworleans.com

Just keep wallowing in mediocrity.

Why? When I can revel in my awesomeness

I just saw on St. Charles Tavern's website that they deliver city wide, and open 24/7 hours! I don't know if they have certain delivery times though.

Mid-City has a low restaurant density compared to Uptown and the French Quarter and has fallen behind the Bywater so you can't expect a lot of choices for delivery when there are comparably less choices for restaurants.  There are lots of Mid-City restaurants I like so which of them would you like to see deliver?

You can't say the whole city has no late delivery options as there are MANY 24 hour delivery options in NOLA that just don't go to where you live.  The actual fact is that you need to complain about the delivery options in the area you chose to live in and not the options for the whole city.  I have a huge selection of delivery options if I was ever going to lame out and not go out to actually experience the mega-awesome city I live in.  You can always hop your drunk ass on the Canal streetcar and make it to the Quarter and have a legion of late night and 24/7 food options.  If the bane of your existence is late night delivery then you obviously are living in the wrong area of the city so stop being a whiny hipster and take responsibility for your choices and choose to move to an area that has the options you demand.

Thank you for all your help...did I say ludicrous tho gs like " biotech I will dismantle you"?  Totally.  And for that I am remorseful.  What u really wanted is folks that know elsewhere to send delicious delivery my way.  I was a d I c k.  Thank you for the ts and may the Saints be with you.

Wow and again with the iPad auto correct drinking fail....

lol^paul

Is Takeout Taxi still around?
