Two cheap stops, the walk between them, and the last train home. Pick a start and we’ll line up the
night.
Just one place? See what’s cheap near you right now , and how long you’ve got.
The evening

These are the top 12. 16 more work too, ranked the same way.
Sorted by time sitting down. Anything that outlasts the last train goes to the bottom, not away: you
can still do those, you’re just getting a cab.
What this can’t tell you
Whether there’s a table. Whether the kitchen’s still on. Whether the second place has a line at nine
on a Friday. None of that is in any record we can fetch, so none of it is claimed here. A place we
can’t put on the map is left out too, because the walk between two stops is the whole trick and a
guessed one would still print as minutes.
How a deal earns a light.
