Josephine: The Hungry Heart
Chez Josephine is a bubbly return to the joie-de-vivre of Paris of the 1930s – le Jazz Hot with soul. A tribute to legendary entertainer Josephine Baker founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker, Chez Josephine offers a French-American menu and live piano music in an intimate Parisian setting.
This landmark jewel is inviting and romantic with its blue-tin ceiling, red velvet walls and cavalcade of chandeliers that light up vintage portraits of La Baker. Ideally located on West 42nd Street along Theatre Row, Chez Josephine is a magnet for dining before or after the theater; as well as a Hell’s Kitchen haven for a leisurely dinner or quick drink at the bar.
Born Freda Josephine McDonald in St. Louis, Missouri, Josephine Baker (1906–1975) was an African-American dancer and singer who was “the most successful music hall performer ever to take the stage” (Ebony magazine).
Josephine Baker was larger than life: She was the toast of Paris in the 1920s with her trademark banana skirt, a star of stage and screen in the 1930s; a Red Cross voluntee

It’s harder and harder for an independent restaurant to survive in New York City, according to an article published in the New York Times on October 25, 2016: “Is New York Too Expensive for Restaurateurs? We Do the Math.” Here we look back at restaurants that enjoyed a successful run in our city:
Sweet’s Restaurant was established in 1842 by Abraham M. Sweet on Fulton Street, in what is now the Schermerhorn Row Block Site in the South Street Seaport. It operated almost continuously for 157 years, pausing for the time right before and during the Civil War, and again from 1982-1983 as the landmark building underwent restoration. Sweet’s weathered the Seaport’s decline into a derelict zone, brought on in the mid-twentieth century by the relocation of the shipping trade to Manhattan’s west side. Peter E. Dans reminisced about Sweet’s in the book Life on the Lower East Side: Photographs by Rebecca Lepkoff, 1937-1950: “They took no reservations, and the lines, especially on Fridays, stretched down the stairs of the second floor restaurant and on to Fulton Stre

Joe Allen (restaurant)
American restaurant
Joe Allen is an American restaurant known as a Broadway meeting place for working actors, theater staff and fans – very much an industry institution. The restaurant is located on West 46th Street in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, and was opened in 1965 by a restaurateur of the same name.[1][2] Joe Allen is known for having its wall lined with posters of Broadway flops such as Laughing Room Only, Moose Murders, and Dance of the Vampires.[3] The restaurant featured in scenes in the films No Way to Treat a Lady (1968) and Woody Allen's Melinda and Melinda (2004).
A branch opened in the Les Halles district of Paris in 1972 [4] and UK branch in London's Covent Garden in 1977.[5][6] Since 2018 these acquired different ownerships [7] but retained the name and, in the case of the London branch, the theatrical atmosphere at a venue 100 metres from its original location. In 2020, in response to the COVID-19 crisis, the London Joe Allen (under temporary closure due t
