Here's a Real Blast from the Past:
1957 Woolworth's Lunch Menu


Couple years before my time, but I sure remember eating there and similar places back in the sixties.  I also recall when prices were in this vicinity, too... back when a dollar was a dollar:

One time when I was about twelve, just walking through the isles of Woolworth's with my buddy for what I don't remember... I found a $20 bill on the floor.

There was nobody around, so I kept it... a lot of money to a kid who mowed lawns for like $3 apiece. BUT, I insisted my friend take half, 'cuz he was there providing luck... then we spent it on 100+ packs of Topps baseball cards lol.
