I think you're SOL, unless you like that stuff the Amphora serves.  I used to
work forty feet away from Amphora, and only went there about ten times in three
years, the food was so mediocre.

Now, earlier in the day, Knossos serves /excellent/ food, even though they're
part of the Amphora food conglomeration.  Great gyros and souvlaki, and you can
buy a chicken "roll-up" a la a gyro that tastes like the chicken from Village
Chicken, which is also excellent and located just behind Knossos, which is just
a little way south/west on 123 from Amphora.

But none of that is late-night, sorry.
