Boston has blue laws around the sale of alcohol.
See also: no alcohol sales before noon on Sunday, no discounted liquor at restaurants, and every bar/pub that sells liquor must also sell food.
- mattmanser 10y agoI don't understand why I'm being downvoted, can you explain? Public transport loses money in the evenings, across the world they get shut down unless subsidised.
- rsync 10y agoI downvoted you because you talked about your downvotes. Don't interrupt the discussion to meta-discuss the scoring system.
- mattmanser 10y agoI might have phrased it wrong but I was literally asking what was wrong with what I said. I'm getting confused by HN these days, it's like you get random d/vs for absolutely nothing.
- weerd 10y agoIt's funny what kind of food satisfies that law. One night after a few prior stops I ended up at a very local and very Irish bar. Sipping from a bottle and dreaming of fried potatoes I ask the bartender what food was available. After showing visible disdain for my non-Boston accent he laughs and points to a sparse rack of old peanut bags. I guess beer is food sometimes.
