NYC and other places used to have tons more open 24/7 or very late before the pandemic, even more in the 1980s and 1990s, and absolutely boatlods of stuff open (particularly in NYC) 24/7 from the 1930s to the 1970s.

Not sure what caused the continual decline of this, but was also true for other large cities to a lesser extent. And I wish it’d all come back; I’d strongly prefer most things to be open most of the time.
