 “Eating-Houses in New-York.” (October 7, 1845) 

The New York Daily Tribune on October 7, 1845, published this round-up of the “pioneer” owners of New York City’s “eating houses,” restaurants that served meals all day. This was a relatively new concept at the time. Restaurants only became a part of New York’s social landscape in the antebellum period.
