I have searched through their website but can't find anything definitive on whether the general public (i.e. me) can buy tickets to go. Do you have any idea? Sorry, I know you're busy. Rebecca Hey Scott,

I recently saw a reproduction of Delmonico's menu from (if memory serves) 1910, I'm still trying to get my head around the idea that the most expensive item on the menu was roast chicken (10 cents) (almost twice as expensive as steak). Food production has changed a lot in a century. My great-aunt (born in the 1890s) was used to buying fowl still alive, waiting while they were killed and gutted, and then plucking them herself when she got them home. Prep time goes up a little . . . The new book sounds fascinating. Restaurant research is a mind-blowing area; it says so much about the culture of the era–and corrects so many misconceptions.
