There are a lot of options for dining out in the city this Thanksgiving, but none of them cost just 75 cents. Ephemeral NY looks back at the Thanksgiving menu from 1899 at the Sturtevant House, a popular hotel on Broadway and 29th Street (which was in operation from 1871 to 1903). As you can see by comparison, 75 cents for the whole meal was a pretty good deal—you could only get an entree for that much at The Plaza on the same night.
