2015.043.351-a This postcard depicts the interior of New Fulton Royal Chinese American Cocktail Lounge. A horseshoe-shaped bar, red columns and dining tables surrounding a dance floor. The New Fulton was one of a number which chose to advertise and describe themselves in name as a Chinese American rather than Chinese restaurant during WWII and in the two decades after.
