Despite concerns over working from home affecting downtown businesses, local entrepreneurs are optimistic and say nightlife is thriving due to city support and strategic marketing.
Cheryl Cronin, the CEO of the Boston Public Market, expressed her confidence in the downtown area, stating, 'I'm definitely feeling very confident about the downtown area, both short-term and long-term.'
Owner Kevin Treanor of the Chemist highlighted the effects of hybrid work, saying, 'Mondays and Fridays downtown can be like a ghost town,' which reflects the changing foot traffic patterns.
The Downtown Boston Business Improvement District has observed that, despite anecdotal doubts about Fridays, foot traffic on Fridays and Saturdays has been encouraging.
