The Bowery was the place for fun and mayhem back then, so that would help ID the corpse. <br />Oysters were the hot dog stands of their day. Gaslight New York and Gangs of New York tell tales of the era, and Luc Sante's Low Life -- but I have a feeling you know those books already.

I noticed Graham Muffins on the menu, it was after 1829 when Dr. Graham invented graham flour - but that doesn't narrow down the date much. I think I'll go for dinner on Friday so I can have their fish....
