New York City was the undisputed leader of world-wide night life from the end of Prohibition into the 1960s. In countless nightclubs revelers could eat and drink to their hearts’ content.
The most popular entertainment of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century was Vaudeville. The acts were mostly light comedy, acrobatic, musical, and sometimes silly, but everyone loved it and had their favorites. Today postcards are about all we have as memories.
