Biography
  1. Sardi's restaurant at 234 West 44th Street in New York City's theater district was opened on March 5, 1927 by Vincent and Eugenia Sardi and soon became a famous theatrical landmark. Inspired by a Paris restaurant, Sardi contracted with caricaturists to draw his prominent restaurant patrons, primarily actors, directors, producers and others connected to the stage, to illustrate the walls. In 1947 the senior Sardis retired and their son Vincent Sardi, Jr. took the helm.
