Join Toledo author and storyteller Tedd Long for a journey back to the restaurants that once defined the city’s neighborhoods, celebrations, and everyday life—but have now vanished.
Table for None: Lost Toledo Eateries brings to life the stories behind beloved diners, elegant supper clubs, corner taverns, and family-run establishments that shaped Toledo’s food culture. Through historic photos, menus, advertisements, and colorful anecdotes, this presentation explores how these eateries reflected changing tastes, immigration, industry, and social life in Toledo.
This isn’t just a talk about food—it’s about memory, community, and the places where Toledoans gathered to celebrate milestones, conduct business, and feel at home. Audience members are encouraged to reminisce, laugh, and share their own memories of restaurants that live on only in conversation.

When: May 19, 2026 at 6:00PM
Cost: FREE for members; $7 for non-members (tickets include a self-guided tour of the museum in addition to the program)
***Each person attending must be a member to get the member rate. Members may not make reservations for non-members on their behalf***
