Today's Special: 20 Menus From The Past
No bs, just beautiful ephemera <3
Happy Friday!
It’s been a hard week over here so I’d like to provide a little place for us to dissociate for a few minutes! On the menu for today — a veritable feast for your eyes! This week, I did a deep dive into several internet archives looking for old restaurant menus and boy, did I find gold!! These are my favorites but there was so much more that I couldn’t include. All the menu sources will be linked and they have high res images if you’d like to take a closer look at anything. I will share the link to the archives I used at the end of the email so you can continue the fun!
This email will get cut off due to length so feel free to open it in your browser. :)
Here are links to the archives if you’d like to do some exploring:
