I'd rather link my arm in Tony's and trolley it to a hot dog and a glass of beer, where you can talk English, than to stiffen up and act refined with a Sassoon or a Charley-boy, feeding me broiled lobster in a gilded caff!
"The Salamander"
Owen Johnson
And for light meals they want a caff, a real French caff, and for folks that come in late another place that they call a Girl Room that don't shut up at all.

Not only was the caff built but the very hotel was transformed.
