This 24-hour basement coffee shop, with an interior that probably hasn't been changed since 1975, seems to be a favorite for smoking insomniacs and college students pulling all-nighters. You'll need to order something every two hours to hang around and not fall asleep, but the toast and boiled eggs are free. If that's not enough, try the huge jumbo parfait ice cream sundae, which is literally served in a fishbowl.
