Hungry Charley's opened on September 3, where the Waldorf Cafeteria used to be, and serves-hamburgers, hot dogs, and "Hungrys,"' which are baked submarine sandwiches. Another specialty is apple beer...
Then the line stops, and Belcher gets 30 unpaid minutes to eat. That is not long enough for him to walk down from his sixth-floor work station to the second-floor cafeteria, buy a hot meal and get back before the line starts again. So he munches a sandwich from a bag-often while standing at the back of one of the long lines of men waiting to use the urinals.

A very bad book called Love with a Harvard Accent once said that the Bick was "where the Cambridge bohemians gathered." You need pay this no attention, however, because the same book had its insipid hero stopping into Leavitt and Peirce for a cup of coffee, which is categorically impossible because Leavitt and Peirce only sells tobacco and games. But the Bick is open late...
