Though this is now true of many things, they really don’t make restaurant menus like they used to. And these 70 and 80-year-old relics from the New York Public Library prove it.

Whether they’re much more beautiful and ornate than today’s or simply much more politically incorrect and offensive, these vintage restaurant menus are a jarring, bizarre trip into decades long gone by.
