So many D.C. neighborhoods are great places to drink – H Street, Adams Morgan, Dupont, 14th Street and Shaw, to name a few. When hitting these drinking destinations, it's important to know where to go to carb up so the next morning won't be so rough. Many of these late-night spots are burger joints — which isn't too surprising — but there's also falafel, sausage, pizza, pies and doughnuts for those seeking some calories to pair with alcohol.

Amsterdam Falafelshop

Located in the heart of the 18th Street bar crawl, Amsterdam Falafel is an Adams Morgan institution to fill up on the cheap. Open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, it'll be hard to find a quality spot that's open later than this. The restaurant has been expanding to other drinking-centric neighborhoods like Arlington, too.

Fast Gourmet

There's more to Fast Gourmet than its well-loved chivito sandwich. This place also has soups and rotisserie chicken. But everyone seems to get the chivito. The gas station-slash-restaurant has a loyal following, and its late night hours probably help with that following. On the weekend, a late bite can really be an early morning bite with the spot serving up until 5 a.m.
