Late last week it was reported that one of only two 24-hour restaurants in all of Boston had cut back on its hours, leaving only one 24/7 spot remaining. Now we have learned that that dining spot will remain open all day and all night even with a new advisory now in place for the city, but with one change.
According to a message sent to us, South Street Diner in the city's Leather District will continue to be open 24/7, saying that they "are here to service the first responders and the community." The note says that takeout will no longer be an option, however, which may be a change made due to a public health advisory issued by Mayor Marty Walsh asking all nonessential workers to stay in their homes between the hours of 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
On Thursday, it was learned that IHOP in Brighton--which had been open all day and all night--cut their hours to 7:00 AM to 11:00 PM; no other restaurants in Boston are open 24/7, though as of late last week, Bova's Bakery in the North End remained open 24 hours a day (it is not yet known whether Walsh's new guidelines could cause them to change their hours).
