Step back to a simpler time when you could get an old fashioned and a lobster with drawn butter for about $3 and beautiful girls would dance for you while you ate, but not in a gross lunch buffet at the strip club kind of way.I love historic menu collections. While San Francisco's has a prettier webpage, I must say the Los Angeles Public Library's is nothing to sneeze at. Check out the 1930s wine list from the Biltmore Hotel - stains included.
tsk tsk. It was never a simpler time. :)
ReplyDeleteI defend my use of the phrase "simpler time" as an appropriately imprecise figure of speech!
ReplyDeleteWhen people use the phrase "it was a simpler time," they tend to be getting nostalgic about something that never existed.
For example, I suspect that I only like the idea of supper club dancing girls.
You are absolutely right... It's all about the nostalgia.... "simpler time" is one of my favorite pet peeves and I can hardly resist saying something whenever I encounter it.
