New York City Restaurant Tips by e_boc

Restaurant Name: P.J. Clarke's

I will be visiting soon.

Here is a short note from their website:

"Owner" of Table 20 - Frank Sinatra
Would cruise New York City bars and always end up at P.J. Clarkes

Johnny Mercer wrote "One for My Baby" on a napkin, sitting at the bar at P.J. Clarke's

Bacon Cheeseburger, Nat King Cole proclaimed it, "The CADILLAC of burgers!"

After 119 years, we’ve replaced the missing floorboards and finally straightened some of the pictures. The pay phone is still “Out of Order” and the broken cigarette machine remains broken. The ice block in the men’s room and the paper plates are gone but the ashes of one of our patrons will reside behind the bar forever. Our little terrier faithfully watches “the joint” while PJ’s famous jukebox plays Frank, Buddy and Sting. The wives’ beer window stands open and anyone can say “So, set ‘em, Joe” where Johnny Mercer penned “One for My Baby”. We welcome you for another 119 years (at least) of good food, good drink and great conversation.
