Park Avenue Hotel Menu for March 14, 1900. There’s too much tongue on here. And I don’t quite understand how you’re supposed to cobble together a meal from the items on here.

The New York Public Library has undertaken a massive, crowd-sourced project to transcribe old restaurant menus, which they are loading into a searchable database people can use to find out what people ate when they ate out years ago. This menu, from the Park Avenue Hotel in New York, dates to March 14, 1900, and is one of the over 60 menus that have been transcribed so far. If you want to transcribe one or just peruse the collection, visit the library’s What’s On the Menu database.
