Chez Josephine is a delightful eatery on 42nd Street's Theater Row where friends and I have gathered to enjoy celebratory and leisurely birthday brunches. The restaurant was founded by one of Josephine Baker's children and continues on with another family member and former busboy. The interior is splendid. Paintings, photographs and various ephemera depicting the iconic Josephine adorn the multicolored walls, a piano sits in the middle of the space, chandelier's and wall scones cast warm glows all to create a welcoming atmosphere to enjoy the attentive service and very tasty food.
As everyone is aware, the theater district was very hard hit due to the pandemic with theater's closed and restaurants in the area struggling to survive and hold on until the day when the show must go on. I'm hopeful that Chez Josephine can weather the hard times and continue to be a mainstay in the theater district and where I can continue to meet with friends for future celebrations.
