Ma Fischer's

A popular East Side establishment located on Farwell Avenue, it is not unusual to see Ma Fischer's packed to capacity at 1 a.m. This restaurant, too, is conveniently located next to a popular night spot, Landmark Lanes.
Pizza Shuttle
Pizza Shuttle, located on Farwell Avenue on Milwaukee's East Side, is open until 3 a.m. weeknights, and 4 a.m. on weekends. While Pizza Shuttle does a huge delivery business, this restaurant is another interesting people watching joint because if it's proximity to Brady Street nightlife and location in the midst of a popular student housing district.Oakland Gyros

Oakland Gyros has long been a staple in Milwaukee, especially with the late-night college crowd. The original Oakland Gyros' location on the corner of Locust and Oakland Streets is of easy access to many students boarding near UW-Milwaukee, and the fact that it sits adjacent to Axl's, a popular bar, certainly doesn't hurt business. Oakland Gyros does not deliver, but the 2 a.m. crowd at this place makes for interesting people watching, and the food is worth the wait.
Zayna's Pizza

Zayna's is a late-night staple for those times you don't want to leave the house. Housed in a small building near the west end of Brady Street, Zayna's, along with rival Pizza Shuttle, have definitely cornered a large part of Milwaukee's delivery market -- many denizens of the East Side have probably eaten there at least once a week, for a year straight, without ever setting foot inside the restaurant.
