Restaurant Ads in the Sunday News

There were relatively few restaurant ads in the Sunday News, whose readers apparently did not eat out much in 1946. This contrasts with The New Yorker that week that was filled with restaurant ads.

The Longchamps chain said that Palm Sunday found New York’s smartest families enjoying the finest of dining thrills at Restaurants Longchamps. With Easter imminent, The Skipper at 160 E. 48th Street advertised that hams were their specialty, served with Virginia-style raisin sauce. Marco Polo’s, a chain with locations at 65th and Broadway, 41 East 59th, 202 E. 42nd, 38 W. 48th, and 46 Cortlandt Street, claimed there was “no greater name in spaghetti dishes” because “it’s the Sauce.”
