The days are finally longer, but that doesn’t mean that the nights have to end any earlier. Several spots have introduced late-night menus just in time for those summer nights. At Minetta Tavern, night owls can enjoy the renowned Black Label burger ($26) until 1 AM; at Emporio the pizza oven burns the midnight oil, churning out pies like the luganega sausage, mushroom and buffalo mozzarella ($16) until 2 AM; Scarpetta pushes wee-hour pasta such as the mushroom mezzaluna ($13) until 1 AM; and newly opened Avenue serves up clubby bites like mini-lobster rolls ($10) until 4 AM.
