Today, they are discussing the NYPL's old menu collection and the new What's on the Menu? program.

Tune in to learn about some of the more obscure NYC menu items, as well as the role of midday lunch in building the restaurant business in the city. This episode has been brought to you by White Oak Pastures.

Restaurants are such a huge part of our social history, that to not have these documents is such a loss." -- Rebecca Federman on A Taste of the Past
