Eating well in the wee morning hours can be a chore. Many Dallas restaurants shut down their kitchens by midnight, if not earlier, and getting a meal from a drive-through window isn’t always as good an idea as it seems.
Once the last round of whiskey shots has been downed, peep this map to find tacos, pizza, Korean, and Thai — there is an option to satisfy any late-night craving.
