Broad Street diner has really gone downhill, the food is atrocious. But I think I saw they were open until 11pm, so thats a start on the 24/7 quest

Such a shame. I used to live a few blocks from Broad Street Diner and it was not uncommon for us to end a night there and go back for breakfast a few hours later and have the same waitress.

They pulled demo permits, its not long for this world. I'd guess same with the melrose.

I think the fire gutted Melrose already, last I heard they were waiting for a contractor.

I hadn't heard anything about fixing the place up, so I assumed they were just cooling their heels until they could sell the place. I hope they fix it up - I'm a big diner guy, and its been pretty sad to see the destruction of diner culture over the last few years.
