With thanks and apologies to Ben Austin, son of Avel Austin, who thoughtfully sent me this information back in 2018, I am finally posting these photos of an old Cafe Rienzi menu for people to enjoy. I seem to remember seeing one like this for sale on an antiques site last year. :)
I started this blog in 2006 to share my job hunting journey in my fields of technology and education and to share my amateur photography passion. However since then I've strayed into other topics, including (oddly) Marilyn Monroe; a piece of Americana called the Cafe Rienzi; Belgian draft mules; antiques and furniture refinishing; artists Firma Duchene Philips, Tom Durant, and David Grosblatt; and a television series called PREY. And those are just for starters - so browse and enjoy!

Everything looks scrumptious! Enjoy! Thank you, Ben!

Greetings - I'm looking for information about Byron Le Gip, who frequented Cafe Rienzi in the 1950s. He was a designer and drummer. Does anyone remember him? He had an exhibit at Rienzi with photos of his designs in September 1956. The photographer was Dick Philips - I'm also interested to learn more about him. Any info would be much appreciated!
Greetings and thanks for posting. Many of the original founders have passed on, but I hope that some frequenters of the Cafe Rienzi during that period will see your comment and be able to help you.
