Public Reservation Luncheon From 2004

Label from the famous Silver Queen artesian wells. Label predates 1920, for a one gallon water jug.

The tables and chairs; table service of silverware, plate and glassware are original from Mary's Vegetarian Restaurant on Britain Avenue.  The dining setting will be within the quaint and beautiful Gate of Prayer Synagogue building (1938) that is a part of the Museum and Tours at Mary's City of David, and is decorated in 1930's and 40's advertising, News and popular culture prints of the period. Located on Spring Lane just south of 1158 E. Britain Avenue.  Signs will be posted.

Table water will be provided fresh from the Silver Queen Spring at Eastman Springs.  In fact, ALL beverages and refreshments will be made from the famous Silver Queen Spring water.  The Silver Queen  Spring was developed in 1883.

Recorded music from popular 1930s hits are played on our old 1950s turntable will be provided during the Lunch.

July 31, 2005 Mary's City of David hosted a Jewish group as a reunion tour for the participants. Most of the attendees had been children in the Jewish resort at Mary's in the late 1940s and 1950s. It was a lovely day of warm memories and great programmes that celebrated the Jewish haven hosted by a Christian community that spanned 1930-1965. The Syngogue built in 1938 was being used for Jewish services at the resort through 1976. Today, beautifully restored it is the facility for the 'Welcome Back to 1934' vegetarian meal programmes.

With the price of the meal comes a free pass to the Museum access to the gift shop and the lovely Eastman Springs nature trail.  We offer a Guided Walking Tour from the Museum, at 1:30 PM, for an additional fee, of $4.00.

We sincerely hope to be able to expand our service and add on more available dates in the next season. Please come out and join us as we enter our Second Century.

Quaint and authentic setting for a table of four with the famous and delicious 'mock steak deluxe' sandwich and authentic table setting and 1934 menus and literature of that era.
