Description: Old Original Bookbinders Restaurant Philly PA Ceramic Tray + Vintage POSTCARD SouvenirBookbinder's Old Original Restaurant - Operated from 1935-2004History of Old Original Bookbinder's, 125 Walnut St. Philadelphia PA - From the late 1800's to modern times, hungry locals and tourists made Old Original Bookbinder's Restaurant a required stop when navigating the city of Philadelphia. The restaurant, located dockside on the Delaware River, originally grew out of the life of the seaport itself when Samuel Bookbinder opened his restaurant for business.Each noontime, Samuel's wife, Sarah, would ring the restaurant's bell, announcing the principal meal of the day. Dockworkers rubbed elbows with sea captains, prosperous merchants, and farmers - all dining together to enjoy what was becoming a new tradition of seafood at Bookbinder's.The bustling little restaurant was passed to the Bookbinder children and stayed in the family until the depression era when it was acquired by John Taxin. Taxin's daughter and grandson carried on the tradition of fine food and service, earning Bookbinder’s the distinction as one of America's oldest continuous seafood restaurants.The section of Old Philadelphia surrounding Bookbinder's Restaurant had charming cobblestone streets and restored colonial brick houses. Visitors and celebrities touring the city regularly stopped at Old Original Bookbinder's to enjoy its legendary seafood. When you dined at the restaurant there was a chance that you’d be served at a table once occupied by Diamond Jim Brady, Babe Ruth, Tennessee Williams, Teddy Roosevelt, Al Jolson, Elizabeth Taylor or Frank Sinatra.
