The last of its kind near 42nd Street, Chez Josephine is a neighborhood gem founded in 1986 by Jean-Claude Baker as a tribute to legendary Josephine Baker. This Parisian bistro offers live piano music and a tantalizing menu in an intimate setting of red velvet walls, a cavalcade of chandeliers and a blue-tin ceiling. Guests receive a warm welcoming and are treated as family whether coming before a show, after the show, for a leisurely dinner in-between, or a drink at the zinc bar.Chez Josephine draws a crowd unlike any other in New York as food critic Bryan Miller noted when he wrote: “The dining room is a confluence of the famous and the fashionable, the infamous and unsung – with every shade of skin on earth – and indeed you feel the magic of Chez Josephine.”

This restaurant always has a nice wine selection and excellent food. However, we dined there on a Saturday and our reservation was pre-show time at 5:30. Our veal chops were medium well and not medium rare. I think the kitchen was just rushing to get meals out so that people could get to their show, and weren’t paying attention to details. I would still go back though.

We chose Lulla’s based on good reviews and its proximity to midtown. When we arrived and noticed the restaurant was a part of a hotel, we were skeptical. However, those concerns were soon put to rest. The food was delicious and the service was great! From cocktails to pasta, we were not disappointed.
