7 Things You Can Do at 2 a.m., and One Thing You Can’t

Whether you’re a second shift worker or just an insomniac, there’s still plenty to do at two in the morning.

Talk over a cup of coffee. Drop by . Bonus for night owls: Steak 'n Shake is offering a second half price “happy hour” from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. on all drinks and milk shakes, including coffee.

Pick up a new friend, buy a fish at . Though you might have trouble finding a clerk to help you scoop up a goldfish or guppy in the wee hours of the night, the Beta fish are grab and go.

Get late night TV merchandise now. Why wait for shipping when you can drive to and pick up your very own Sobakawa Buckwheat Pillow, Ronco Rotisserie, or Justin Beiber toothbrush right now? Check out the As Seen On TV aisle for merchandise you didn’t know you had to have.

Have your cake and eat it too. A quick trip through can cure your late night frosting urge. The store is open 24 hours, so go ahead and grab a cake mix, or if you lack the patience, find pastries already made up at the bakery.

One thing you won’t do is get a bottle of wine or six pack of beer. State liquor laws prohibit the sale of packaged liquor after 1:30 a.m.
