- minikites 8y ago"Dinner" might imply that the restaurant is open earlier?
- wmf 8y agoI suspect in those days "dinner" implied a large meal while "lunch" is something smaller and simpler, like the sandwiches mentioned in the article.
- minikites 8y agoThat would also make sense, good point.
- WorldMaker 8y agoMy reading of it is also that many of these were used for what a lot of food trucks are still used for (depending on the city of course): late night food cravings (especially for the "afterparty" crowds). "Night Lunch" seems such a decent descriptor for a "Midnight Snack", that I might adopt it for that purpose.
