Our current lockdown status has us dreaming - and reminiscing - about heading out for a few drinks up the town or a bite to eat with our pals on a weekend.
And if we go back a good few years, plenty of us would somehow converge or end up in the exact same place once the pubs and clubs had shut their doors.
And that place was The Canton, aka the Canton Express on Sauchiehall Street - a place that was for many Glasgow's true late-night scran institution of yesteryear.
Located on Sauchiehall Street across from The Garage, a visit to The Canton was a staple pit stop for punters and students in the 90s and early 2000s.
It was a place to go after the clubs and pubs shut, especially if you were unfortunate enough not to be let into Insomnia for food because you were too drunk.
You could always count on The Canton on to let you in!
With its neon signage, red booths and white tables, it looked like it belonged on a side street in Hong Kong rather than a couple of doors down from Nice N Sleazy in Glasgow city centre - and it drew folk craving for Chinese food in their droves.
It was no frills. It was fast. It was cheap. It was filling. But it didnt sell chips for some reason.
To be fair, it was also a bit of a midden inside, with toilets so far away from the tables in the basement - past the buckets of rice in the corridor and the scary chef with the huge meat cleaver- it was like a journey into the unknown getting there and back.
The only place where a staff member appeared like magic at your table with your order in his hand before you had even looked at the menu.
But it was open until 4am, and you could order a takeaway or eat in and soak up all the vodka red bulls from The Garage or Blanket while munching down dishes such as chow mein, roast duck, chicken stay (a standout) and pork - as well as a nice pot of Oolong tea for 60p a head to go alongside and help sober you up a bit.
Such was its status in the city that The Canton appeared in many a Glasgow guidebook of the time as the place to go after a night out, as well as - believe it or not - a 2013 book on touring with Nirvana by ex-Captain America and Eugenuis drummer Andy Bollan.
Why? Because his pal Eugene Kelly (of The Vaselines) used to live above it, a luck that only a man who sang with Kurt Cobain at Nirvana’s Reading Festival show in 1991 could possess.
Sadly, The Canton shut its doors in early 2007 and was subsequently replaced by a bookies.
And yet over a decade since it closed its doors, the Chinese restaurant still retains a soft spot in many hazy, post-club memories.
It's safe to say some are still mourning the loss of one of Glasgow's best late night munch spots.
