According to the liquor laws and local custom, no booze was permitted in open view, but it was perfectly acceptable to bring-your-own (in a brown bag, of course) and for the restaurant to sell set-ups. I have still not seen a more concentrated collection of brown bags than I saw sitting on tables that night, even in some of New York City's seedier neighborhoods. Chip
