Opened in 1908, this 14 story, 250 room hotel had all of the amenities a fine Edwardian could possibly want. Very fancy. A coffee shop with a table d’Hote dinner? I’m in! I’ll have the Prime Rib dinner with boysenberry pie, please 🍽️ New Washington Hotel Seattle 1947 #VintageMenus

I’m not sure if a crippling fear of heights might keep me from enjoying a nice meal atop the Space Needle, but I think I’ll risk it in this instance. I’ll have the Eggs Benedict with hash browns, a Black Cherry Sundae and a pot of tea , please 🍽️ 1/2 Space Needle Seattle 1960s #VintageMenus

When I was a kid, Pepperidge Farm and Sara Lee desserts seemed like the height of fancy probably because we never bought them. Mom was a good baker and “we have cake at home.” One of the first things I bought when I moved out was my very own PF coconut cake. What’s your favorite ? #VintageAds

Two more reasons the 1950s were fun: bike motors and loud toy grenades. That Whizzer is super cool , but it’s a hundred bucks and I’m very sure you could buy an actual used motorcycle for less than that because my dad had an Indian in high school. Those hand grenades sell themselves 💣 #VintageAds

Opened in 1930, the Washington Athletic Club is a 21 story deco masterpiece that turned out both Olympic and regional winning athletes. The top floors are 125 hotel rooms. I’ll have the Hot Stuffed Deviled Crab with Maraschino Cherry Mousse 🍽️ Washington Athletic Club Seattle 1939 #VintageMenus

One hundred years ago an intrepid reporter on the street asked Joe and Jill citizen their opinions about the newfangled one piece swimsuits for men and women and are said garments appropriate for public beaches. Apparently these hoochie suits are indecent. So wear the swim dress 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♂️ 🏊‍♂️ #VintageAds

Lady #1 must be planning on being late for dinner a lot according to that stack of TV dinners she bought. Add another 45 minutes because those take forever in the oven. Lady #2 has a clever way to discourage hubby from bringing home surprise dinner guests. I’ll try the veal parm 🍽️ #VintageAds

I didn’t know that the Lower East Side had a tradition of Jewish-Romanian steakhouses. This fine establishment (1909-66) was a favorite of celebrities and theatrical types. I’ll have the stuffed cabbage dinner with nut strudel for dessert Moskowitz and Lupowitz NYC 1956 #VintageMenus

The 1950s were great for innovative products. Why aren’t those TeleSpecs still a thing?! There are tons of practical applications! I just like the aesthetic of the bbq ashtray. It’s a perfect backyard accessory so folks don’t stomp out their butts on your new patio flooring #VintageAds

Located on the Cape Fear River, Fergus’ Ark (1952-65) was known for its fresh seafood and having a decommissioned battleship crash into it at the dock. That’s a big oopsie. I’ll have the Lobster Newberg with lemon chiffon pie and iced tea please Fergus’ Ark Wilmington NC 1950s #VintageMenus

Before it was a beloved ice cream parlor, 1078 Broadway in Buffalo was Nowak’s Hotel and Saloon, where in 1901 presidential assassin Leon Czolgosz lived. That’s gotta be bad juju. I’m curious what the Charlie Chaplin is, so I’ll have that and a cocoa Paradise of Sweets Buffalo 1930s #VintageMenus
