From page 367: The smell of onion soup tugged him forward. The market was a reassuring bedlam of horse-drawn carts and blaring truck horns, and Stuyvesant lined up with the last of the night’s drunks, the first of the day’s market loaders, and the tiredest of the prostitutes for that most traditional of restoratives.
Men and women in evening dress fighting hangovers with doses of onion soup makes for a common theme of novels from the early twentieth century. And as restoratives go, hot onion soup in a busy marketplace is better than many.
