Menino has run the city from the chair at the head of this 10-foot mahogany table with a commanding view of Faneuil Hall. On the morning he announced to the world he would not be seeking another term in office, he sat at his usual spot and spoke with his Cabinet chiefs and top officials, including Peter Meade, William Sinnott, Edward J. Davis, and Brian Swett. Later, they gave him a standing ovation, and Menino remained seated, his head down, his chin resting on his hands.
