 Longtime lunch hangout in Boston runs into the pandemic buzzsaw. The Milk Street Cafe files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in hopes of reshuffling its deck to pay off its debts. The 40-year-old hotspot finds it's tough to come out a winner from a health crisis that robbed it of most of its customers and some of its employees, too.
