Eli5: A lot of restaurants are closed on Mondays, which makes sense to me since they’ve been open all weekend. Why do a lot of Asian restaurants close on Tuesday instead?

For the older Chinese communities in the UK- historically, Tuesdays was the day they all chose as the day off as they would gather at their local ‘會館’ which was like a community hub.

Nowadays, it’s more just to have a day off somewhere in the week that is less busy and also allows them to sort out errands at things like banks or getting to doctors/dentist appointments which are more convenient on weekdays.
