A printed after-theatre or opera supper menu from Clinton B. Fisk Prohibition Club, 1898. From the era when Broadway, the Metropolitan Opera, and Carnegie Hall defined New York’s evening cultural life.
The after-theatre supper was an institution in turn-of-the-century New York. Diners moved straight from Broadway, the Metropolitan Opera, the Academy of Music, or Carnegie Hall to nearby restaurants and cafés that printed special late-evening menus for the theatre crowd. These cards capture the rhythm of urban cultural life as it was lived.
