Pg. 91:
   STANDARD BUFFET'S "Quick Lunch," Samuel H. Barron, Sole Proprietor, Fine Wines, Imported Liquors; No. 32 Broadway.--The metropolis has long been noted as the one center above all others where unlimited capital, vast experience and boundless enterprises have been combined to make its cafes and buffets superior to any in the country.  As a leading contribution to the reputation of the city in this regard, and as a model establishment of its kind, the Standard Buffet's "Quick Lunch" stands deservedly prominent to the public eye.  It was opened in 1889, by Mr. Samuel H. Barron...

(OED has 1903 for "quick lunch"...This book gives a nice description of the leading liquor people in New York City.  I didn't see anyone named "Martini"--ed.)
