Title

Note on Food

Subject

A note on leisure culture and food.

Description

This note from Leroy Neiman provides a selection of food related scenes, related for the most part to leisure culture. That said, the document makes the connection between these two topics tacitly. Notably, the note singles out two New York city standbys—PJ Clarke’s and Rao’s, both of which were located uptown, near the artist’s home. The writing also mentions Swedish cuisine and fly fishing.
