calendars and 24-hour places to eat

[tsuki-no-bara.livejournal.com]

two entirely unrelated questions!

a. is anyone still selling 2012 wall calendars? and am i the only person who waited this long to buy one?

b. are there any places to eat/drink that are open twenty-four hours, or that open realllllly early, say 4:00 or 5:00 in the am? (this is kind of research for a story i'm writing in which one of the main characters works the overnight shift and sometimes wants to get something to eat with his coworkers after work and before going home. it can be pretty much anywhere in greater boston.)

Gourmet Express, across Mass. Ave. from Porter Square shopping center, is a combination convenience store and restaurant that is open 24 hours. I don't call it a 'sandwich shop' because it sells more than that, and I'm hesitant to call it 'quick serve' because I've waited quite a while for meals there at times. But you order food at the counter and either take it out or eat it at their tables inside.

Most Dunkin Donuts locations, including Davis Square, open at 5 am. A few such as Porter Square are open 24 hours.

I think the Dunkin Donuts in Union Square is open 24-7. Which I'm confused by, because I'm pretty sure it's in Somerville, and I thought Somerville didn't allow businesses to be open round the clock.

Shaw's in Porter is open 24 hours!

That part of the shopping center is actually in Cambridge, so the Shaw's is not a Somerville business.

All of the shopping center is in Cambridge.

The furniture store, nail salon, and dry cleaners on Elm St, which I think of as part of the same shopping center, are in Somerville. :P

They aren't part of the shopping center, though. If you park at the shopping center and leave the lot to go to these businesses, you could be towed.

And I think the Dunkin Donuts near the Andrew Square stop.
