The City that Always Sleeps now down to a single 24/7 restaurant

Sol Sidell's South Street Diner is continuing to sling hash and brew coffee around the clock even as Boston's other 24/7 eatery, the Brighton IHOP, has cut its hours to just 7 a.m to 11 p.m. because of current conditions.

"Yes, takeout or UberEats 24/7," the diner reported exuberantly today.

Also still open around the clock, although not a restaurant: Bova's Bakery in the North End.

Sorry for posting the Globe's smear on here Adam, but this article was pretty good: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/02/18/lifestyle/i-spent-night-citys-onl...

Yes, it was

I found out about the diner's new last-one-standing status when it responded to a tweet I'd done back then complimenting the article EXCEPT for the fact that it claimed the diner was the only 24/7 restaurant in Boston, when at the time it wasn't.

For a place that specializes

For a place that specializes in breakfast, 7am seems a little *late* to be opening for the day.

has long advertised itself as being open 24 hours. When we had Arisia 2019 at the Park Plaza Hotel and compiled a list of late-night eateries for convention-goers, we included it. It is still listed today, along with a couple of other hospital locations that I think only now changed to 24-hour service.

Of course, nobody should now go anywhere near a hospital if they don't absolutely have to.
