[NPR Marketplace] Restaurant dinners are eating earlier than ever
What time are you sitting down for dinner these days? Thursday, restaurateur Danny Meyer, the brains behind Shake Shack and Union Square Hospitality Group, which operates a bunch of restaurants in New York City, tweeted an observation. He said: “When did a six o’clock dinner reservation become the new eight?“
Yes, New York City has always been a late-night scene. But it turns out people are eating earlier everywhere.
What does all this mean for restaurants? Seth Gerber, who co-owns Mida, a restaurant group in Boston, is happy to welcome the early birds. He said it’s especially helpful for his staff.
