Owned and operated the premiere Broadway restaurant Sardi's. The famed
landmark has dined the rich and famous for over eight decades, becoming
THE place where deals were made and wealthy hobnobbing is done. His
father began the restaurant in 1921 and young Sardi purchased it from
his father in 1947 when the elderly man retired. Sardi's was closed in
1990 after it went bankrupt, but Sardi reopened the landmark eatery in 1991
and was successful in revitalizing the business before retiring in
1997. His partner Max Klimavicius took over the management at that
time and Sardi's continues into 2017.
