St. Andrew’s Café at the Catering [sic] Institute of America on the Hudson River at Hyde Park, New York

Notes from the collector: I image a lot of you have been there over the years. Now the Hotel School does a lot of “joint” training/teaching with the Institute which makes sense. We ate in St. Andrews because we couldn’t get into the upmarket dining rooms or we didn’t have the money or only wore sneakers that day. Smoked tuna steak was $6.50 apple strudel $2.00 and Kona coffee $.75 so perhaps someone can put a date on that menu. I think we were on our way to see my cousin near Ogdensburg, New York, near the Canadian border. Stopped to see Chuck Laforge at Rhinebeck, but he was out of town. Ogdensburg is the home of Frederick Remington, the painter and sculptor of the wild west. If you go to the 21 Club you will see a great deal of his work in the lobby.
