City - Manhattan, NY - 43rd and Broadway 1952 Invitation
Colorized photo from 1952, May
Original title: Times Square Street Scene
Photographer: Angelo Rizzuto
Location: 43rd and Broadway
We are a few blocks from Times Square, but this area is considered a part of that. Just down the block is Duffy Square.
The restaurant across the street called Tofferetti, was "The place to be seen at", it held a 1000 people, and was open 24 hours a day. It originally opened in 1914 as Triangle Restaurants. But was then re-imagined in 1939 during the World's Fair, where they catered. They then opened this restaurant shortly after. It closed in 1968. One of the things it was known for was the creative writing style the menu's had. For example, "Rough skinned but Tender-Hearted" baked potato. Or, "From the lava beds of Idaho, product of millions of years of evolution", I think that too is a potato dish.
Just above that is Simon Ackerman clothes. They officially started in 1914, but opened a retail store in 1932. They sold menswear, which is actually still sought after today. It closed in 1964
Today, I think most of the buildings are gone, except maybe the one on the left.

I customised and ordered 30 of these cards for my Mum, to be used as guest place cards on the birthday table at our local restaurant venue.
The design caught my eye while I was perusing all the samples, and thought it was a great novel idea for my steam train enthusiast Dad.
I chose the larger postcard sized one, as the font would be large for older eyes, and customised it keeping the Rail Ticket theme on the front, with venue address/date/time of party, and on the back I added another steam train and various 80 speed limit/rail signages. The trick is not to overdo it or it looks too busy. I also added at one end of the front side, a word of thanks from the birthday boy.
Champagne Shimmer was chosen for the finish and it suited the card so well, as it gave an glimmer of elegance and richness, loved it.
During the party, I had guests come up to me and say how much they liked this quirky card.
My Mum was ecstatic (she is hard to please at the best of times) and my Dad liked them very much also.
Upon leaving the party venue, I noticed that not one single card was left behind at our guest table.....so to me it spoke volumes, that the guests appreciated the cards enough to want to take them home as mementos.
I couldn't have wished for a better place card for Dad's 80th birthday party. Thanks Zazzle! Very happy with the finished product. Design turned out well, front and back.
I kept with original background and border colouring, which went extremely well with my choice of Champagne Shimmer for the finish. I kept to minimal colour pictures added on the back, they printed up very well. All crisp and clean. The cards looked a million dollars!

It was better than I could’ve ever imagined and so easy to create! Why spend hundreds of dollars to get a invitation company to produce something you can do yourself! Better than I could’ve ever imagined!
