Dec. 7, 1994: The original Carmine’s, on Broadway at West 90th Street. The second location opened in 1992 in the theater district. ”New Yorkers,” a Times reviewer wrote, “in spite of all the talk about a new abstemiousness, love to tackle quantities of food that would make a Jewish mother cry uncle.” Photo: Ángel Franco/The New York Times
July 13, 1958: Blueberry pie with a lattice topping. Jellied strawberries in a golden crust. Old-fashioned two-crust berry pie. Gossamer-textured eggnog chiffon pie with raspberries. Photographed in the New York Times studio, these four pies — pictured from top to bottom — were “made with plump, ripe pickings from summer vines,” as the original caption says. They were “especially welcome” then. We’d wager they’d still taste good today. Photo: Alfred Wegener/The New York Times
