New York City solidified its reputation as the city that never sleeps with four spots on the list, but it shares top honors with Atlanta and Orlando, which both tied with the Big Apple.

Other honorees are located in Boston, Cleveland, Las Vegas, Oakland, Philadelphia and Raleigh, among others.

"Late night dining done right is really about creating an after-hours oasis of food, fun, and, oftentimes, music," says Caroline Potter, OpenTable's Chief Dining Officer.  "This year's award-winning restaurants are magnets for night owls, show-goers seeking supper, foodies searching to satisfy a culinary craving, and restaurant industry professionals celebrating the end of a shift. Both the atmosphere and food at these top eateries are as vibrant and pleasing late into the evening as they are at 8 p.m."
