Fodor's Expert Review Joe Allen

Midtown West Gathering Place

Everybody's en route either to or from a show at this "old reliable" tavern on boisterous Restaurant Row, celebrated in the musical version of All About Eve. You might even spot a Broadway star at the classic bar—with its robust scotch and whiskey menus—or in the dining room. Still, one of the best things about Joe's is not the show crowd but the hilarious "flop wall," adorned with posters from musicals that bombed, sometimes spectacularly. (Check out the ones for Paradox Lust, Got Tu Go Disco, and Dude, the unfortunate sequel to Hair.)
