We inherited these beautiful menus about 30 years ago. We have the Samuel Clemens, Cruso, Howard Taft, Pershing, the Prince of Monaco, Alfred E. Smith, Howard Elliott and many, many more. They used to hang on the walls of our home, but now that we are retired, moved to a small home, they are kept in portfolios. It is a shame that no one can see them anymore!!Ruthann Steinernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8778626287556834261.post-43445139113783223992012-05-16T06:31:47.517-07:002012-05-16T06:31:47.517-07:00I leave knowing more than when I came.

I had no idea about the link of the cration of this blog to Mark Twain so we have another thing to be thankful to him for. Thanks to you for another wonderful post and an amazing recipe. I truly think you should write a book with your lovely photos because you make such wonderful but different things.

And took me to blogspot and introduced me.<br /><br />Fun to be introduced to American Menu and Voight. And what an exquisite collection of reprints in your post. I so enjoyed perusing every one. The art of menus is history, I'm afraid, althougn once in a while, you come across a beauty. Your stories of old New York are always a pleasure to read; one can only dream about taking part.<br /><br />What fabulous ices and ice creams. Pistachio is one of my favorites and how unusual to find garam masala in the ingredient list. For some unknown (probably something from childhood) reason, I love pistachio with angel food cake. Odd, I know.<br /><br />Super post, as we've come to expect!

Such beautiful menus. You don't see artistic style in most menus today - the only place I ever remember such care being given to the look of a menu is Chez Panisse. By the way, the Neopolitan Ice is gorgeous - a far cry from the dessert I remember as a kid!T.W. Barritt at Culinary Typeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707931838240978818noreply@blogger.com
