Hi

We’ve been around a long time; 55 years to be exact. Joe opened this restaurant in 1965--so long ago it might as well have been a dream.

And throughout all those years, we’ve seen New York City shed it’s skin over and over and over again. 1/13
As New Yorkers, we know we always persevere, we always reinvent, and we always come back a better version of ourselves. Please know that now is no exception. To everyone saying New York is dead? Yeah, not so much. Think again. 2/13
The past year has been absurdly challenging for our small family of restaurants, so we’d like to thank our patrons and long-serving staff for their continued support. Joe’s has always been a refuge for us theatre misfits. 3/13
We’ve been witness to illustrious openings and unexpected closings, marriages and memorials, even a few blackouts. We’ve always found our footing in the inherit goodness in the members of our community. 4/13
When all is said and done, this community, our community, the Broadway Community, leads the fight for what we know is unequivocally just. 5/13
And we’re not so much a brand as we are a few people with shared ideals; we can’t keep silent anymore. 6/13
This administration’s willful blindness and abhorrent indifference to the plight of out-of-work and vulnerable American families, People of Color, LBQTIA, small businesses, immigrant families, and everyone’s civil rights is borderline criminal. It must not stand. 7/13
We know times are tough. We know that feeling of powerlessness is nearly-overwhelming. But there are things we can do: 8/13
Joe and his family have always, privately, supported liberal, progressive, and forward-leaning causes. In these turbulent times, we have to take a stand. These are our beliefs, as a family, a business, as a member of this beloved community on which we’ve built our lives. 12/13
Peace. Love. Action. We’ll see you soon.

The JA family. 13/13
