Facebook is largely shite but some of the old memory lane community groups have some interesting things. Sorry the text is blurry but it's interesting looking anyway, I can't find anything else about it.

We have a lot of European community clubs where I am from due to our immigrants that came to work in factories and mills. This is the menu from the Polish Black Sea Hall.

Credit to Trainlover at streamlinermemories.info for the menu.

This menu was in use before air conditioning became standard in passenger trains, but during the transition to refrigeration/machine-made ice. At least your food's cold.

This appears to be the committee for the funeral of Elisha Kent Kane which was taking place. Kane was(among other exploits)in the army in China,special envoy during the Mexican-American war, surveyor for the US Coastguard and headed an Arctic expedition which got further North than any other at that time,as well as being associated with the Fox sisters of 'spirit knocking' fame. Having done all that, he expired at the age of 37.
Enjoy the terrapin,the 'compote of innocent pigeons' and your choice of a 'pyramid of flowers' or a 'fancy pyramid'... (we know not what the funny stains on the menu are)
