Same decor, same amazing poster with recipe for Choucroute on a wall now obscured. Food not interesting. But... A kind owner led me upstairs to an entire abandoned dusty rotting floor where amenu from the Hofbrau, from the early 1940s was found. Unbelievable variety and tenor of life alluded to. Imagine, for potatoes alone once they offered: Home Fried or Saute, Between the Acts, Julienne, French Fried, Lyonnaise, Hashed Browned, Hased in Cream, Au Gratin, Mashed, Potato Dumplings (2), O'Brien, Baked, Parisienne, Speck Kartoffel, Boiled, Saratoga Chips, Potato Pancakes, (same with) Bacon & Apple Sauce, Fried Sweets, Grilled Sweets, Canided Sweets.

I love finding pieces of older versions of New York hidden in the oddest places. Mon Mar 16 14:31:34 -0800 1998 1532983 0 Amy Keyishian
