The City Café first opened its doors in 1900. In the 1930s, you could order a meat, three vegetables, and dessert for 35 cents. Waitresses were not employed in City Café until 1936, at which time the wage for new waitstaff was $7.00 for every 69-hour work week, as well as all the food they could eat. The City Cafe is the state's oldest known restaurant still in operation.
