Few pictures on this board show two businesses sharing one name, and this print pairs Joe's seafood restaurant with Joe's clam bar in Brooklyn. The record dates it sometime between 1930 and 1960, a period when clam bars were a familiar part of the borough's waterfront and beach-side life, serving raw clams and fried seafood to steady crowds. Brooklyn's shore neighborhoods, including Sheepshead Bay and Coney Island, had many such eateries, and a picture like this preserves how such places presented themselves to passersby.
