That's a feast! Laguardia happily shuts down at like 6 or so, after that if you have a connection you can look for food scraps on the floor or, you know, dive right into that intermittent fasting you always wanted to try.

yeah you can drink and party for a few years but then the filth, the misery, and in many cases the idiocy of this city starts to wear one down. I've been working in the city for decades but now I'm just fed up and disillusioned. I
