The caption on this glass negative names the scene "Hotel de Gink" and "morning coffee," but the title comes from Bain News Service notes that have not been independently verified, so the establishment and its location remain uncertain. The image belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress. Bain's agency, based in New York in the early twentieth century, sold news photographs to newspapers and magazines, and its negatives captured everyday city scenes as well as events. The record files it under taverns and saloons, though the title points to a hotel and a morning routine, which makes the scene's setting worth examining closely.
