I’m not yet dining out particularly much myself (apart from our obligatory summer dinner or three in Oleana’s garden, a couple of outdoor dinners at Loyal Nine while they were still around, etc.), but others of you might well be back in the dining saddle, nosebags on. (Yes, yes, I know it’s the horse that wears a nosebag not the rider.)
What’s the dining scene like? Are restaurants back to normal for dinner? What about for lunch? La Royal on Concord is certainly packed for dinner, but Hi-Rise across the street has nowhere near the lunch crowds it once had. At the DTX Gene’s at 1 p.m. today I was alarmed to find it empty. Outside South Station there were just two foodtrucks with nobody at either. In the past there would have been 6 or more, with long lines at each.
The lunch question is linked to whether businesses are back to in-person work, and is separate from the dinner question, but I’m curious what your experiences are of either.
