Sam Habib, a Muslim, and Cindy Gluck, who is Jewish, on the job.

BROOKLYN, NY — On the morning in August 2005 when Sam Habib and Cindy Gluck opened their first Dunkin’ Donuts, they awoke at dawn to make sure that the glazed fritters and French crullers were out on the counter. Then Mr. Habib sneaked off to the neighboring mosque to pray, and Ms. Gluck, panicky about the prospects of their new venture, went to the back of the store to cry.

COLLEGE PARK, MD — Most residences near campus are occupied by university students whose afternoon and nightly activities include studying for exams or partying- and either way, crawling into bed at 2 a.m. But for some city dwellers, the daily routines are a little different.

“From 4p.m. to 7p.m., from when my kids come home until they go to bed, it's family time,” said Nechama Backman, explaining her family's routines in their home on Hopkins Avenue.
