We used to have so much food 🤣

I want it back! Less bars more restaurants!

👍 It was once so livable

At least we had I-Hop for 24-hour food and studying.

You're so right! I think it opened in the '70s? Folks were saying it was the oldest continuous CS business when it closed recently

davidleftwich.bsky.social•41 days ago

Didn’t know it closed. It came in handy ‘86 through ‘90. Any eateries there that are open 24 hours? There are fewer everywhere.

I don't know of any in B-CS that I can think of right now - I'll update if i learn of one or someone corrects me! I hear that Magnolia Cafe and Kerbey Lane in Austin are (mostly) no longer 24-hr, and I don't know what to do with this sadness. Why the trend?

Not sure why. Even of some of NYC’s former all-night diners have cut hours. I’m guessing COVID was one factor, since it really impacted the restaurant business. Staffing is probably another. It’s been hard for restaurants with normal hours, so I suspect 24-hour joints even more difficult.

That makes good sense
