"Dinner" might imply that the restaurant is open earlier?

  I suspect in those days "dinner" implied a large meal while "lunch" is something smaller and simpler, like the sandwiches mentioned in the article.

    That would also make sense, good point.

    My 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.
