Three years later, the Delmonicos (as John and Peter now called themselves) opened a “Restaurant Francais” next door that was among the first in town to let diners order from a menu of choices, at any time they pleased, and sit at their own cloth-covered tables. This was a sharp break from the fixed fare and simultaneous seatings at common hotel tables–so crowed (one guidebook warned) that your elbows were “pinned down to your sides like the wines of a trussed fowl.” New Yorkers were a bit unsure about fancy foreign customs at first, and the earliest patrons tended to be resident European agents of export houses, who felt themselves marooned among a people with barbarous eating habits. The idea soon caught on, however; more restaurants appeared, and harried businessmen abandoned the ancient practice of going home for lunch.fromBurrows, Edwin G. and Mike Wallace.

As Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace point out, restaurant culture in New York City changed forever with the arrival of Delmonico brothers’ French restaurant, which was among the first eating establishments to “let diners order from a menu of choices, at any time they pleased, and sit at their own cloth-covered table” (437).3. In their history of New York City’s early years, Edwin G. Burrows and Mike Wallace describe the Delmonico brothers’ first eating establishment, opened in 1827, as a shop consisting of “a half-dozen pine tables where customers could sample fine French pastries, coffee, chocolate, wine and liquor” (437).4. In 1830, the Delmonico brothers opened one of the first restaurants in New York City. “This was a sharp break from the fixed fare and simultaneous seatings at common hotel tables–so crowded (one guidebook warned) that your elbows were pinned down to your sides like the wings of a trussed fowl.” (Burrows and Wallace 437).5. According to Burrows and Wallace, the Delmonico brother’s original shop enticed New Yorkers “with a half-dozen tables at which patrons could sample French pastries, coffee, chocolate, wine and liquor” (437)6. As Burrows and Wallace note, New Yorkers in 1830 felt “a bit unsure about [such] fancy foreign customs” as eating in a restaurant that offered a menu and separate tables (437)7. Burrows and Wallace observe that the Delmonico brothers’ restaurant first attracted resident European agents of export houses, who felt stranded among people with barbarous eating customs (437).View keyboard shortcutsEditViewInsert8.
