USC has this picture looking up 7th from Broadway which they date at 1921 (it may be slightly earlier). The domed Smith's Hotel stands where the Loew’s State Building is about to be built.

According to
cinematreasures.org, the Palace Theatre was at 318 W 7th, so the Europa Italian Restaurant must've been just to the left.
Detail of picture above.
The Ville de Paris department store (further up 7th in the top picture) has been briefly mentioned before on NLA. Here's their advert from the 1921 CD.
