When it comes to meals, newspaper reporters favor generous portions and reasonable prices.
Hence, lunch hours in the early 1980s, when there was a group of young reporters at the Post Bulletin, usually found us heading to the Downtown Deli, Richard’s Roost, Wong’s Cafe and other downtown establishments. Occasionally, we’d even straighten our neckties enough not to feel out of place in Michael’s.
