From Brooklyn Magazine:
Danny Meyer may be over on X, formerly known as Twitter, pondering how it is that the 6 p.m. dinner hour replaced the 8 p.m. time slot, but over here in Brooklyn, things are just starting to heat up at 8 p.m. — and well beyond it — every night of the week.
Brooklynites, and all those venturing to the city’s buzziest borough, have long been spoiled by choice when it comes to noshing, but there were, of course, dining limitations during the peak pandemic period. Even once restaurants and bars opened back up, many had reduced seatings and limited dining hours due to staffing shortages and a general retrieval of sea legs.
