Royal York Hotel Menus

Here are two menus whose photos we’ve seen before. As with the Indian Matron menus shown here a couple of days ago, these two are slightly different: the first is framed by Art Nouveauish lines and the words “Royal York” are in script while the second has straight lines and “Royal York” is in Bodoni.

The first menu is dated 1941 and, like one of the Matron menus, is a breakfast menu used on the Dominion. It has a flyer glued in for the table d’hôte meals.

The second is a 1944 dinner menu with the table d’hôte meals printed on the menu rather than on a separate flyer. The text on the back cover describing the hotel is different but covers the same information.
