Noting that New York City&#8217;s theater industry is falling in line with the early-to-bed-trend, more and more shows are starting at 7 p.m. (as opposed to 8).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Traditionally people would say that&#8217;s a bad idea. Don&#8217;t do a show that early, because people won&#8217;t have time to get into the city from the suburbs,&#8221; Alexander Donnelly, who runs the theater division of production company PRG, told WSJ. &#8220;Now, we&#8217;re seeing this desire to get home earlier and get out of the city as quickly as possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Courtney Lorenttz, general manager of the New York City restaurant Ilili, told Today: &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen a huge decrease in guests that are dining later.

The Yelp study reports positive trends for the food and beverage industry, citing new business openings up 10% from April 2022 to March 2023 compared to the previous year. Yelp says that pop-up restaurants account for a big part of that increase, up a whopping 105%. What began as a cost-savings tactic during the pandemic, pop-ups have continued to share a space and equipment with breweries, bars, and sometimes other restaurants, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers have found that eating earlier dinners has numerous health benefits, like limiting weight gain and spikes in high blood sugar levels. The only trick? Sitting down to a healthy dinner at 5 and then not eating a party-sized bag of chips when you are plopped on the couch and starving at 10.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/business-news\/yelp-says-the-early-birds-are-taking-over-dining\/456311\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to research conducted by Yelp, 2023 appears to be the year of the early bird.
