Eat like a trader!
Click here to look at how traders on Wall Street in New York eat, according to this Bloomberg report. I cannot speak for the breakfast and lunch places in the report, but I have eaten at the Smith and Wollensky’s in New York and Chicago. Steak with lobster on the side – I approve, but my cardiologist may not be so enthusiastic.
As to my favorite places to eat in Chicago, my friend Craig Glicken, then a trader in the NASDAQ pit at the CME, and I used to go to lunch at Nick’s Fish Market, Smith and Wollensky’s and at Shaw’s Crab House. I remember going for Nick’s $20 lunch special and spending $100 with no alcohol. We used to spend the afternoon in Shaw’s Bar sampling every variety of oyster on the menu. Those were the days!
