24-hour dining options in the US have declined due to pandemic impacts. From 2020-2024, the number of 24-hour restaurants fell 18%, with cities like New York losing 13% and Los Angeles losing 35% of their 24-hour eateries. This decline is attributed to a combination of factors, including changes in customer behavior (like earlier dinner times and reduced late-night alcohol consumption), as well as increased labor and food costs.
