Not everything, there are still a bunch of restaurants and bars and some 24&#x2F;hr liquor &#x2F; 7-11 type shops.  The noise level although has never been a problem when those are open.<p>Experience: Living in a place that was right above a bar, a 7-11 and in front of a train.<p>Also the sidewalks are huge, they are as big as a lane of traffic.  As a result cafes and such can easily have comfortable outdoor seating.  And because everything is first floor businesses, there are a ton of cafes in a 10 minute radius.  You could probably visit a new one every day.  Compared to my current place in the usa where I have to walk a few blocks to get to the &#x27;business road&#x27;, where there is no apartments above the businesses.  Not all places are as business dense, but there isn&#x27;t as much stopping it than the USA lets say.<p>But yes, things close earlier in europe in general.
