@weinoo thanks for posting this.
I remember Snowdon's well and the last time I was there would have been the late '90's.
I moved from Montreal in 1980 for grad school however during my undergrad years our Saturday night ritual was to head to Schwatz's to eat. It was the most convenient since many of us lived east of the university district. Back then it was hardly the tourist trap it is today and our go to order would be a platter of smoked meat (priced by weight), a platter of pickles, cherry cokes and rye bread. Then off to one of my classmates homes to catch SNL.
I hope you had some good bagels when you were there.
That was what we referred to as the 'pothole fillers at work sign'.
