The Boston Licensing Board yesterday gave New Market Pizza and Grill at 850 Mass. Ave. permission to extend its closing time from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. seven days a week, after its owner and lawyer assured the board there was a tremendous market for late-night food in an area frequented by hospital workers and cops.
A nearby McDonald's is already licensed for 24-hour operations. Victoria's Diner, a few blocks away, is open 24 hours on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, while the Hen House across from that is open until 4 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

Patrick Maguire at jmcurley reports on what he and another manager decided to do when a customer put $20 on his table and told the waitress he'd deduct a dollar for every mistake she made. You may recall this particular restaurant has some conditions on its menu, including:
The customer is NOT always right. However, the respectful customer is always right, and the asshole customer is always wrong.
Just don't be a douchebag.

The Herald catches up with Hizzona, who acknowledges he can't legally stop Chick-fil-A from opening up, say, in the space to be vacated by the Purple Shamrock:
"I can't do that. That would be interference to his rights to go there," Menino said, referring to company president Dan Cathy, who drew the mayor's wrath by going public with his views against same-sex marriage.
The mayor added: "I make mistakes all the time. That's a Menino-ism."
