Artifact of the day is a dinner menu from the Tudor City Coffee House, dated November 27, 1931.
Set in No. 25, the restaurant was designed to be a cheaper alternative to its fancier cousin in No. 45, yet its wide-ranging menu goes beyond typical coffee house fare.
Judge for yourself, below.
The upper part of the menu details the set-price dinners available. Many dishes here remain standards today, with the exception of items like Jellied Tomatoes, Paprika Schnitzel, Baked Apples, Stewed Pears, Plain Spinach, and Ripe Figs.
Above, the à la carte offerings. For some reason, a glass of ginger ale costs more than a glass of Budweiser.

Open all day, the coffee house also served breakfast and lunch.
