The difference is that most are not open 24 hours/day. If you are on jet lag from North American and go out at 5 AM to eat breakfast you will find it hard to find a café open. Our nearest starts getting the tables outside around 7, .... But this is neither a 24 hour place nor an all-nighter. -- I remember not too long ago a Coffee Shop in one of the hotels on Southampton Row in London which proclaimed "Open 24 hours". I went to it at about 8 am one morning in July and, yes, it was closed. JohnT |

What's the difference? There is a daylight period during each period of 24 hours at the latitude of Paris, so 24 hours is longer than "all night." So the all night pubs are only open when it's dark? No. Mixi's point is that there is a difference between all night and 24 hours. Technically correct but useless. |
