Reply to comment by sutisuc in Mad for Chicken has soft opened by NewNewark

Ongoing pandemic has apparently changed that for a lot of places. Fewer people dining out, which means anyone who was dining out late because they couldn't get in at other times now goes earlier, places closing earlier, etc. I know a lot of 24 hour diners all over the place that are still now 9:00 or 10:00 PM. Was surprised. So whatever's happening now isn't necessarily indicative at least.

Oh that’s been the case downtown for years honestly. It’s a 9-5, Monday-Friday area

I've lived down here since 2006. It varies. A lot of places yes, and a lot of places with later hours don't keep their hours, but it's definitely worse now than it was.
