...Commissary is an arty cafeteria with decent, moderately priced choices. Breakfast may include crackling thick Irish oatmeal or homemade muffins, and at brunch and lunch there are well-made omelets. Probably Philadelphia's most widely acclaimed French restaurant is Le Bec-Fin. Although not quite up to its national reputation, it does offer some fine food -- at steep prices -- in a dated Louis-the-Something setting. Avoid complex dishes such as lamb wrapped in veal and heavily sauteed scallops with snow peas. More successful are the Cornish hen with a garlic-and-thyme cream sauce, and veal medallions nestling...
...City Tavern, originally built in 1773, is a part of local history. The restaurant has painted, wood-paneled walls, comb-back chairs, and a staff in period costumes that should delight children.

Employees vote on whether common work areas should be smoke-free. While smoking is generally banned in conference rooms, exceptions can be made if there are no objections from anyone present...
Only the Fort Worth Times correspondent dared to fetch a take-out lunch from the cafeteria downstairs. He sat on a windowsill in the rear, morosely munching a sandwich. The others stood for an hour and a half rather than miss the President's emergence. Doubtless, many considered sneaking out for a cup of coffee, then thought of trying to justify missing a vital quote to their senior editors...
