The Postcard Thread

[Rikki Gins]

Thanks, Dot & PB!

[Rikki Gins]

At first I didn't think it would be possible to make a contest out of the postcard thread but since it is Christmas time, it would be fun to have a make believe get together at one of the restaurants that will be shown over the next couple of weeks.  There will be a total of eight restaurant postcards and you, the postcard viewing membership will decide by your votes as to which eatery will get to host our annual Christmas party. 

Here are the first two entries.  Please vote for the one that you would like to go to the most.

I vote for the Crystal Room.  The Tavern looks a little cramped in the picture.

Tough choice, they both look good.  I'll go with the New Crystal Room - just because it looks like it has more space, but I do like the historical aspect of Christina's Tavern

I know what you mean.  Apparently, George Washington liked to dine there.  Thanks for voting, PB.

Just for a change of pace, the collection has a ton of post cards with various city street scenes from 100 years ago.  In the upper left, barely legible, it says 'Tremont Street, Galveston, Tex'.  Someone apparently steamed the stamp off the back.

Not sure when the photo was taken, but the vehicles on either side of he road are horse drawn carriages.

Note the sign on the far left, halfway down:  'Post Cards'

What do they have on the menu?

I vote the New Crystal Room.  If George Washington dined at Christiana Campbell's Tavern today, or any other place in Williamsburg, he'd have the kitchen staff shot.
