really? Now you tell me. They certainly don't publicize this, or at least not to the extent the Metro does. They sell food in some of the stations, at least I thought they did, so I figured you could eat on the trains. Boston definitely allows it--Tons of stations have Dunkin Donuts. You don't put dunkin donuts in stations if you don't want people to eat on the trains. Are you a Chicago person, past or present? Funny you mention Sondheim--I'm seeing Side By Side by Sondheim at Theatre on the Lake on Sunday. If you are a current Chicago person maybe we can have a Chicago Weingartenchatters get together or something, or at least maybe you can give me inside tips on places to check out. Thanks for the CTA info!
