Throwback Thursday: Starr’s Cafe


Way before there was a Stephen Starr and his twenty-one or so Philadelphia restaurants, there was a Starr’s Cafe. This 1917 photo of Margaret Street and Frankford Avenue shows the cafe that offered light lunch, ice cream, oysters as well as steaks and chops. Sounds like a stomach ache waiting to happen.
