A 24-hour diner in Davis Sq. would be wonderful!!! It could be like South Street Diner in Boston.

Ah, does anyone remember

Dolly's? That was an institution! When I was in law school, we ate many breakfasts roundabout 3:30am- it was located at 382 Highland, where Out of the Blue USED to be, and which is now a ubiquitous pizza/sub joint. And this was only in the late 90s so it hasn't been that long since such hours were allowed. Here's a link from Best of 1999 Boston Phoenix- http://www.bostonphoenix.com/supplements/the_best/99/text/CE_%7F%7F%7FDOLLY_S_LATE_NIGHT_R.html

Anyone have any insight on what caused the closure of Dolly's? Was it the changing of the law?

Their closure coincided with the building being renovated; I'm guessing they couldn't handle the combination of the downtime for construction and the increased rent for the improved facilities.

Dolly's was a continuation of an older late-night restaurant, Kay and Chips. It was open only between about 11 pm and 6 am, as I recall.

Indeed, many of us who've lived in the area for years mourned Dollys passing. Mmm. Steak tips and eggs at 3 AM!
