For Geoff Farwell, and many like him, a hollow feeling comes around at the same time every weekend.
The bars close and his empty stomach desires some good food after a solid night of drinking.
Farwell, Denver senior, schedules his weekends around the bars. Drinking alcohol socially speeds up the digestion process, and people often get hungry as the night progresses, according to the Pentagon's drug awareness Web site.
it.
"It's almost inevitable." Farwell said. "Even if I eat before I go out, I'll still be hungry come 1 o'clock."
Amanda Rivera, Lake of the Ozarks, Mo., senior, is one of La Parrilla's man fans.
Lawrence offers a variety of dining options that remain open after midnight, catering specifically to late-night eaters like Farwell.
"It's something different," she said. "The food is great, and they're open until three."
La Parrilla, 814 Massachusetts St., offers a spicier alternative. It specializes in Latin American cuisine including tacos, quesadillas, rice bowls and salads.
In the Lawrence area, about 26 drive-through, delivery or dine-in options remain open after midnight seven days a week. From pizza to burritos to hamburgers, almost all tastes are accommodated.
Fast food is also available for
One of the most crowded for late-night dining remains Perkins Restaurant, 1711 W. 23rd St. Perkins, open 24 hours seven days a week, offers everything from pancakes and omelettes to chicken sandwiches and burgers.
"No matter what mood I'm in, they have something I like," Leah Kumicki. Chicago senior, said.
Among other dine-in options are Steak n Shake, 3111 Nieder Road, and the International House of Pancakes, also known as "IHOP," 3201 Iowa St. Both are open 24 hours all week.
those not wanting to wait for a table. Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, with locations at 601 Kasold St. and 523 W. 23rd St.. is a must for Farwell.
"It's good to know there's always something open." Farwell said.
"Wendy's has good variety for people who like everything," Farwell said.

A late-night favorite among the Mexican food stops is Burrito King at 900 Illinois St. It normally gets crowded over weekends after the bars close for those wanting to experience "the biggest, cheapest burritos in town," as Burrito King advertises.
If the hassle of driving around to get food is too much, lazy eaters have another option: go home and order a pizza from one of the several places that deliver late such as Gumby's Pizza, 1445 W. 23rd St. Or if so inclined, three Lawrence bars — The Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., and Johnny's Tavern, 401 N. 2nd St. — sell pizza by the slice.
