Multiple longstanding Boston restaurants across neighborhoods have closed recently, including Boston Chops and longtime pub Brownstone, affecting South End and Downtown Crossing dining options.

South End arrests surged 163% between May 1 and Aug. 24 amid rising public drug use, quality-of-life complaints, and increased police deployment.

Banyan Bar + Refuge in the South End will be closed for several weeks due to kitchen fire damage.
