Sardi's

Recently my beloved and my brother and I saw "Talk Radio" on Broadway (review will be forthcoming). Afterwards we went to the world-famous Sardi's for dinner. Sardi's is a legendary Broadway watering-hole, where all the stars go for their opening night parties and await their make-or-break late edition reviews. It's one of those restaurants more people have heard of than gone to, and it's a vital link to Broadway past and present.

Sardi's trademark is the copious portraits of said Broadway stars, and they line the enormous dining room and saturate the walls. They look down at you while you eat and make your memory flood with all the shows you've seen, all the tunes you've hummed, all the performances you remember. You don't go there for the food (which is decent but not great), you go their to feel more a part of the Broadway experience. And I'm glad I finally experienced it.
