    Ohhhhh you’re talking fantasy like TV shows where characters have apartments right above/very close to useful social centers, like bars or restaurants.

    Cool to think upper class was like sitcom living for Roman’s.

      Aaaaand: Having a kitchen was considered upper class, eating out was for the lowers, if I remember correctly.

        Correct, though with the addendum that having a kitchen pretty invariably also meant having a chef (or at least a dual-use servant-chef), and that the rich were constantly eating at each other’s houses and critiquing each other’s food.

        The Sparticus TV show I liked did NOT imply eating out was for lower classes.
