Montes has been in existence on MacDougal Street since 1918. When Caruso played New York (he stayed around the corner in a landmark building that now houses a drug store, though the majestic columns remain), he always ordered takeout from Montes. Wonder what he ate?

1918? Wow.
Now you got me wondering if we have any restaurants that old…
You know Caruso's voice extended up to high C in its prime and grew in power and weight as he grew older. He sang a broad spectrum of roles, ranging from lyric, to spinto, to dramatic parts, in the Italian and French repertoires
