Place and history
"Sardi's" is a restaurant located in New York City theater district at 234 West 44th Street, between Broadway and Eighth Avenue. It was founded in March 1927 by Vincent Sardi Sr. (1885 - 1969). His son, Vincent Jr. (1915 - 2007), took over "Sardi's" in 1946 and the full control after the death of his father.
To note that scenes of two films, namely "Country Girl" (1951 / with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly and William Holden) and "Please Don’t Eat the Daisies" (1960 / with Doris Day and David Niven) were filmed at the "Sardi's".
Over a thousand of caricatures of Broadway celebrities, a large part of them drawn between 1921 and 1926 by Russian refugee Alex Gard, are adorning the walls of the retaurant, thus giving the place a real typical aspect.
