Take your time, make something better. Very William Morris-like.

Restaurant menus, vintage
I have a small collection of vintage menus. Some cards, matchbooks, other ephemera. My Joe’s and Googie stuff.
They just don’t make em like this anymore. Beautiful utilitarian type suggesting odd specials and Braised Swiss Steak.
Nothing worse than walking into a small town diner and seeing a computer-generated mess passing itself off as a menu. Happens too much these days.
Pictured, some finds from Flickr (better than what I have). More here, here and here. Best book I’ve found on the subject, Jim Heimann’s May I Take Your Order?
