NYC classic — Vincent Sardi Sr. and his wife Jenny opened the Theater District restaurant on March 5, 1927. To draw customers, Sardi hired Russian refugee artist Alex Gard to draw caricatures of Broadway figures in exchange for meals, eventually filling the walls with more than 1,300. The Tony Awards were conceived at the restaurant in 1946. Wikipedia
