I had lunch at Olive, and loved it. Not crowded today, although everyone
may have been in the 5G lunch. And it's cheap.

I would add two things:

   - You may be tempted to stop at the hummus bar and let someone help you
   there, because there's a cash register, but they actually want you to go
   through the cafeteria line and order - then, they'll run back to the hummus
   bar and get what you asked for.
   - It was good enough that I went back for hummus and falafels at dinner,
   but they were sold out of falafels for the day (it was near closing time).
   I went for chicken gyros with my hummus (again), but not everyone has THAT
   option. But there's plenty there if you need a different fallback.

Best wishes for that.
