A Cambridge Street Thai restaurant has changed its request for a later closing time from 3 a.m. to 1 a.m.
The Boston Licensing Board now considers whether to let A@Time extend its serving times from the current 11 p.m. At a hearing today, a restaurant co-owner said he cut back the proposed closing time after meeting with the executive board of the Allston Civic Association, which said it could support 1 a.m.
The board sets hours for Boston restaurants and must approve any requests to stay open later.

Do these limitations apply to businesses other than bars and restaurants? Eg, if I want to open a 24-hour bookstore, or clothing retailer, or tattoo parlor, do I need to beg and scrape before the Board?
(Knowing MA, I'm sure there's no easy answer...)
