SHOSHONE HISTORIC WALKING TOUR

MANHATTAN CAFE
133 South Rail Street West


Shoshone’s Manhattan Café has a storied history and has served the hungry stomachs of locals, tourists and celebrities.
Opened in 1890, it was known as the Opera House Café or the Chinaman’s Café due to the proximity to the nearby theater and the Asian American    immigrants that owned the café for decades. It was unknown when or why the name changed to the “Manhattan”.
The restaurant operated in its original building until 1961 when a fire destroyed much of the original structure. When it reopened, the business    expanded into portions of a neighboring building. Some of the original fixtures remain in the building today
