At the Hoy Tin bar, Jon Morse wore a sweatshirt with the words “Always win at the Tin,” and called himself a regular. Owner Ben Wong and former waitress Chelsea Diogo jokingly corrected him.

 

“We call them family — we don’t call them regulars,” Diogo said.

“The family has finally decided to say it’s time,” said Wong, manning the bar.

 

He said his family decided earlier in the year that a half-century of serving chow mein, egg rolls and crab rangoons earned them a rest.
