A block away, the chants of Betancourt and other Law & Order writers couldn’t penetrate the gloom of the Smoke House restaurant, whose lone bartender acknowledges that already business is noticeably down.
At the bar, two men in their 30s talk about crossing the picket lines to talk to producers about their projects.
“He told me to come in at 8 in the morning,” says one man.
“But there’s picket lines in front,” the man’s friend says.
“That’s why he told me 8 o’clock — he said the strikers won’t show up until 9.”
With that, the two men look at a TV screen that will soon be full of football games, reality shows and reruns.
