Brilliant research and outstanding posts, Signor V. Thanks!!

One point: that menu couldn't have been from 1923. Prohibition was in effect, and listing prices for cocktails and wine would have provided The Law with evidence of Prohibition violation. Sure, lots of restaurants served wine and booze in those years, but they didn't put it on the menu.


Ntra la porta tua lu sangu � sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu...
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
