Wicked Local Allston/Brighton reports Kelly's Roast Beef wants to turn the old Marty's Liquors into a roast-beef emporium open until 2 a.m. - just down Harvard Ave. from Redneck's, which has long been open until 3 a.m.

The sign's still lit up, but the bakery itself is now dark.

Joe Murphy says he tried, he really did. He'd show up at the bakery he'd just bought on Washington Street every day at 2 a.m. despite the vertigo from an accident that so bad doctors had put him in a coma for nine weeks. When the economy went south and people stopped buying non-necessities like hand-made cakes, he made plans to add a cafe.

Jen can't decide, but says the cannolis at Mike's have one advantage - if you buy so many that you can't eat them all at once:

... From personal experience, I have found that the cannolis from Mike's Pastry keep longer. The shells seem to stay relatively crunchy for at least one whole day (overnight), whereas the Modern Pastry cannolis get soggy in less than 24 hours.
