WWII Rationing & NYC Restaurants

New York is Still a Paradise For Gourmet Despite Rationing

Rationing has affected the menus of New York restaurants, just, as it has affected the dining facilities of other cities. The restaurants here largely have adopted the policy of setting Tuesday and Friday apart as meatless days. Even then the number of points available does not permit the consumption of more than a limited number of filet mignon and other choice cuts. But with all these restrictions, nothing has been able to curtail the variety and universality of our restaurants, which offer the opportunity of going around the world on a menu.

I emailed someone at this site, explained our project, and asked if they had any information, stories, people to refer us to, etc.
