Or maybe you think of Bennigan’s at the mall, where you and your best friends gossiped about boys while splitting a Monte Cristo sandwich, paid for with babysitting money. Both perceptions are correct, in that taverns have always been gathering places first and eating houses second. Murray’s is no exception to this rule.
