A popular spot in Brighton for late-night (or early-morning) dining has cut back its hours, which means that the city of Boston now has only one 24/7 restaurant remaining.
According to a post from Universal Hub, IHOP on Soldiers Field Road is now longer open day and night, with its new hours being 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM in what appears to be a response to the coronavirus outbreak. Because of this, the South Street Diner in the Leather District is the only restaurant left in the city that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (takeout or delivery), though Bova's Bakery--which is technically not a restaurant--in the North End remains open 24/7 while Victoria's Diner on the Roxbury/Dorchester line--which used to be open all night on Fridays and Saturdays--is now only open for takeout/delivery from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM seven days a week.
Restaurants in the Boston area and elsewhere in Massachusetts remain in a lockdown of sorts where the dining and bar areas are off-limits to the public, with takeout/delivery being the only options.
