I run Sardi’s, a restaurant that has been synonymous with Broadway and the theater world for more than a century. It is a role I relish and a job that gives me great pride.
Our walls are famously adorned with more than 1,000 caricatures of stars who have shone brightly in the footlights, going as far back as 1927…
As the site of much Opening Night joy and heartbreak over decades, Sardi’s is part of the heartbeat of Broadway.
That heartbeat abruptly stopped with the onset of the pandemic. Sardi’s closed on March 13, 2020 and would remain shuttered for 648 excruciating days. I am still haunted by the ghostly vision of empty streets, theaters and businesses.
