After 55 years, Friday is the final shift for a beloved bartender who is retiring from Sardi's, the iconic Broadway hotspot known for catering to the stars.
Sardi's on 44th has been the center of Broadway’s upper class. And for 55 of its 100 years, bartender Joe Petrsoric, 78, has been its beating heart. Here the gin martinis are stirred, never shaken by Petrsoric, who arrived from Croatia in 1968.
But after five decades of stirring, serving and smiling with luminaries and locals alike, Petrsoric is finally retiring and his fans who've become like family, are sad to see him go. "I've been coming here for probably 30 years, and Joe has been the guy," said one patron.
