Batt's Coffee Shop, Chicago, IL. Yiddish Cooking Art Print
A gorgeous homage to the infamous Jewish Delicatessens of the early 20th century, this Chicago restaurant was opened in 1929 by Batt’s parents, Tillie and Harry. It operated for years in ground floor space in what was once the Lexington Hotel, later the New Michigan Hotel, where gangster Al Capone lived from 1928 to 1931. For many years it was run by Sam and his brother Nathan, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, with both a cocktail lounge and a coffee shop.
“They had the best Jewish food in the city,” said Batt’s son, Ira. “Hungarian goulash, homemade soups, brisket, corned beef, steaks and chops.”
Printed on high quality archival matte paper, this gorgeous vintage matchbook has been scanned in at a very high resolution and printed many times greater than their size so that you can enjoy the art in its full color, detail, and splendor.
It’s a thing of beauty.
A word about sizing!
If you have space for the 13” x 38”, I would highly recommend as the larger the print, the more dramatic and glorious. But any size will look gorgeous.
These are all frame-ready print with approx 2” all around so no need for a mat.
