    Music

    Sarah in Bath from Krysztof Komeda's score to the Fearless Vampire Killers.

    Adagio for Glass Harmonica, K617a as performed by Vienna Glass Armonia Duo.

    Mr. Death Angel Flanders from John Barry's score to Boom!

    And a bit of Imaginary Building from Elana Katz-Cherwin and Tamara-Anna Cislowska

    Notes

    There's a great American Heritage article on the history of Delmonico's.

    There's a nice write up on the Swan Dinner in American Phoenix: The Remarkable Story of William Skinner, by Sarah S. Kilborne

    Society as I Have Found It, Ward McAllister's memoir of the Gilded Age is appropriately bonkers.
