Collecting Vintage & Rare Menus

Recommended Posts

I think that you should start asking for current and vintage menus at each new restaurant you visit and see if you can convince your well-traveled friends to do the same. I've had the privilege to go through the menu collection at the Johnson & Wales Culinary Archive, and, well, it's basically one person's obsessive gathering of hundreds of menus from virtually every meal he had.

After looking through the vintage menu, I can understand why you would want to collect them. Some fo them are works of art. :)
