This vintage postcard features an illustration of a New York City street scene with historic architecture and late-19th-century urban elements. The main focus is on "Fraunce's Tavern," which has prominent signage indicating it as both "Odo & Evert" and "Fredrick's Tavern." Several other establishments are visible, including "Hotel Metallion" above the tavern. To the right of Fraunce's Tavern stands a red-brick building with white-framed windows labeled for various business purposes such as "Elevator Room," suggesting it housed offices or industrial space.

The street is paved and appears busy, with horse-drawn carriages parked along the curb; one carriage has an advertisement that includes "Odo Evert" in its name. There's a red postmark indicating this image was mailed on April 15, 1906, from New York City to Chicago.

The overall color palette is dominated by muted yellows of Fraunce's Tavern, contrasting with the dark brick building and grey asphalt street. The sky has scattered white clouds against a light blue backdrop, adding depth to this nostalgic snapshot of urban life in early America.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban street scene. In the foreground, two young women are walking side by side; one dressed in a light-colored dress with gloves, holding shopping bags, while the other wears a patterned knee-length skirt and high-heeled shoes carrying what appears to be a small bag or purse.

Behind them stands four Maori men leaning against a wall of an establishment labeled "Lounge." The building features ornate windows and signage indicating it is associated with beauty services. One man has his hand raised, possibly signaling for attention or making a point in conversation among the group.

The street appears to be part of a commercial area with visible signs suggesting businesses like eateries nearby. There's an air of casual leisure as people engage in daily activities on this city sidewalk during what seems like daytime based on lighting conditions and shadows cast upon the pavement.

On a recent evening at a local taphouse I ordered a “pint” of a particular beer and got a bewildered stare. The server was trained to fetch 12s, 16s, 20s or the occasional 10.

“I’ll have a 16,” I said, drowning the temptation to joke, “You know what, make it an imperial 16!”

I don’t think I’ll ever get a convivial kick from inviting a friend out to “have a 16” but you never know.

The image is a black and white photograph of an urban building with a yellow facade. The building has multiple stories, and the street-level front features large windows and a visible sign. In front of the building, there are smaller storefronts with signage and awnings. To the right, there's another structure that looks like a restaurant or bar given its signage. A horse is visible on the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. The street appears to be lined with buildings, suggesting this is a commercial area. There are no visible people or moving vehicles in the scene.

The Economist on Thai Food in British taverns.

"Anglo-Thai grub was first dished out at the Churchill Arms in Kensington in 1991 and is now served in at least 30 taverns across London. "
