Chez Josephine

A pioneer in the revival of 42nd Street since 1986, Chez Josephine is a retro return to the joie-de-vivre of Paris of the 1930's, and a magnet for pre-theater dining in the Broadway Theater District. Built as a tribute to legendary 1920's performing artist, Josephine Baker, this restaurant offers American and French cuisine of the highest quality and freshest variety. It also features live piano entertainment nightly for dinner and Sunday brunch, as well as periodic guest appearances of various local jazz, soul, and blues vocalists. The larger-than life presence of proprietor Jean-Claude Baker, adoptive son of Josephine, looms large over the bustling, vibrant atmosphere to be enjoyed here.
