Late-night food in Providence is centered on Federal Hill and the area around the bar cluster downtown. Several Atwells Avenue restaurants run kitchens past midnight on weekends, particularly the larger Italian rooms that serve the post-show and post-WaterFire crowds. The downtown bar district has pizza by the slice, late-night diner-style spots, and food trucks that pop up near Kennedy Plaza on busy nights. Olneyville New York System on Plainfield Street has been serving hot wieners until 2 a.m. on weekends since the 1940s, which makes it the city's signature late-night stop. Almost everything closes by 2 a.m. when bar last call hits.
