About this postcard
Two black-and-white views show the interior of the Miyako Japanese Restaurant in midtown Manhattan. The upper image is a dining room with tables set with white cloths and bentwood chairs. The lower image shows a bar and lounge with a long counter, stools, and tables along the wall. The rooms are plain and orderly, presenting the restaurant as a comfortable city dining room. In the 1940s and 1950s, Japanese restaurants were a small but visible part of New York's midtown restaurant trade. The printed views advertise a dining room and bar for customers looking for a formal meal in the city.
