Miniature reminders of once-in-a-lifetime meals, perfect first dates, and many of life’s celebrations, restaurant matchbooks have become nostalgic souvenirs of evenings we don’t want to forget. As it would seem I have a thing for high-res scans of what most would perceive as trash (see fruit stickers, here), I am totally obsessed with the Instagram account, @matchbookdiaries. Featuring a number of HODINKEE staff favorites, including La Esquina, Pasquale Jones, Pizza Loves Emily, and Sant Ambroeus, this digital account of the jar of matchboxes I keep on a shelf in my apartment turns these little boxes of fire into legitimate works of art. As a bit of bonus content, you can find a brief history of where the restaurant matchbook originated here.
