Dig deeper in to the old photo archive that the Museum of the City of New York just released and you'll find some treasures, like these photographs of Mark Twain's 70th birthday dinner at Delmonico's restaurant in NYC. The event was held on December 5th, 1905, and had a huge guest list—with names like Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, Dorothy Canfield, and Twain's nephew Samuel E. Moffett.
Delmonico's opened at 56 Beaver Street in 1837, and we're told that—while there is still a Delmonico's there—the original folded during Prohibition.
