What kind of food/drinks do Biglaw cafeterias serve? Is the food top notch or junk? Are lawyers allowed to take a lunch hour?

Aren't you just applying to UGs now?

Are you anticipating a revolution in BigLaw cafeterias in the next 7 years?

Well it seems like a stupid thing to ask about even if you are a 1L and especially as someone just applying to law schools. Also, if anything over the next 7 years cafeterias will only get shittier. Got to protect PPP

Most big companies have cafeterias, including law firms.

Have you not learned anything from Google? You provide amenities to trick employees into working overtime.

I know companies have it. but never seen one at a law firm apart from whatever restaurants and shit are in the same building and downstairs.

I definitely chose my firm based on the cafeteria. Don't most of us?

That said, gym in the building did nothing for me. Every intention of dying from a heart attack by 35 rather than working any longer than that.

My firm actually has a nice cafeteria, but just coffee, soda and 7-11 style refrigerated food is available all the time. For lunch they bring in assorted restaurants daily for sale. I would rather have a gym

..

I'm really surprised firms will say its too expensive to give you an office, but then use up a ton of space on a cafeteria.

I imagine it is going to depend on the size of the office you work in. I doubt that an office with, say, 50 employees will have the scale needed to make it work.

My firm's NYC office has a nice cafeteria with a bunch of stations/choices, fresh-baked cookie Friday, etc. However, the office furniture sucks so that's probably the tradeoff.

My baby satellite office has like 3 kitchens for 12 people which is fun.

I worked for an international firm that would plate my delivered meals (as a legal assistant). So far no firm in the US that I know of offers that and it is hugely disappointing. Why the fuck am I sitting at my desk past 8pm eating with a plastic fork? Come on, America.

Thanks to all of you for finally having the decency to move beyond the question of whether the OP's question is "worthy" and actually answer the OP's question.

You are being ridiculous. No one questioned his "worthiness." Just that something that really won't matter for 7 years so who cares. Also, doesn't really matter for those working in it

Wachtell does this I believe or at least I heard as much from a summer there.
