How to find good restaurants?

restaurant Do you know on what days late-night restaurants are the most popular? You got it - the weekends. Most of us have done it, and I certainly know I have. You go out to let your hair down. You're dressed to the hilt, your make-up is flawless, you've got enough money in your pocket to have a good time and you hit the town with the intention of painting it red. After you've had more alcohol than is probably good for you, the bars and the clubs close. That leaves you a little inebriated and a lot hungry. Now it's time to find food. But what's open at this time of night? Of course, you could simply be a pregnant mom-to-be experiencing food cravings or a traveling couple who thought it would be a good idea to try to drive through the night. But if you go into an all-night food joint on a weekend, you're going to find it packed with people whose outfits are a bit racy, whose make-up is smudged and who have to concentrate on walking a straight line to the bathroom. Which will have a wait, by the way. The fast food places are a good pick for after midnight. Though most of them won't keep their dining room open this late, the drive-through is usually still going full-tilt. Wendy's and McDonald's in particular are keeping their locations open into the wee hours of the morning. This isn't as easy to find in a smaller town, though, where the likelihood of someone dropping in at this time isn't good enough to justify the electrical bill. If you have the option, look for food in a bigger town.
