Spoon #33: The Davenport Press


Not too long ago Miss Dish and I went out with Mama Bear, Papa Bear and Ursa Minor to celebrate Mama Bear's annual birthday.  Of course M.D. and I chose to include a swap to make things interesting.  Our target - the Davenport Press in Mineola, Long Island, New York:


Now here's a place with some history!  The building dates back to 1862 but the Davenport Press has been a restaurant since 1976.  Before that is was, as you might have guessed, a printing press!  And even before that it was a bank.  Would you keep your money here? 

The whole gang had a real great meal and walked away with a newly swapped spoon:



Spoon number 33's markings give it away as an ADCRAFT brand spoon.  Looks to me like it's from their "Avalon" collection:


Avalon, where according to legend King Arthur's Excalibur was forged!  What a fine name for a spoon!
