SUBWAY CAFE, 507 North Wabash Avenue

Latest of the basement eating houses in Tower Town. It is open late, the atmosphere is informal, and there is always someone around to play the piano. Steaks and chops are featured and good Southern cooking. The service is a la carte and the prices are within reason.
