Known for lining its walls with portraits of entertainment icons, Sardi’s is a symbol of Broadway prestige — having your caricature displayed here means being recognized as part of the Broadway elite.
About Sardi’s Restaurant
Opened on March 5, 1927, Sardi’s has long been a cornerstone of Broadway history and was the site of the very first Tony Awards. Its famous caricature tradition began as a creative idea to draw customers during hard times and has since grown into a cherished cultural hallmark, with more than a thousand portraits adorning its walls. Visitors can dine on classic European-style dishes while surrounded by caricatures of movie stars, directors, and stage legends — from Arnold Schwarzenegger to Cate Blanchett.
