My office was around the corner on Park for over 20 years. I was a regular at the takeout window for a container of their soup. I'd bring a second batch for our administrative assistant. I even brought a container home on the bus...very carefully.

The place had a counter service, a formal dining room and a bistro when you could sit down or drink at the bar. I've been known to frequent all three but not simultaneously. One of my banking friends and I spent about three very strong drinks worth there one late afternoon after which I had to guide him to his train.
