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 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.”

    Always a great pre-theater dinner experience. The service, food & ambience are great. And a live pianist, too! The prix fixe dinner is a great value. Love this place. Note that restrooms are up a flight of stairs. Not a problem for us but may be for others.

    We have been coming to Emilia's for almost 20 years. Whenever we're in the Bronx, whether for a Yankees game, to visit the zoo or botanical garden, dinner at Emilia's is a must. The Nonna's Sicilian meatballs, with signaling and currants, topped with whipped ricotta and shaved parmesan cheese are simply spectacular, tender and flavorful and the sauce screams to be mopped up with crusty bread. Everything I've had here has been top notch from the made in house pasta, to the fish and chicken entrees and desserts. Good cocktails and reasonably priced wines. A home away from home.
