Joe Allen Restaurant has been nourishing theatergoers and theater professionals for 57 years on West 46th Street. Starting out, they catered mostly to "chorus kids with bad knees" but quickly became the place where the worlds of theater stars and theatergoers converged. In other words, Joe Allen has defined (and then redefined, and then redefined again) "the theatrical hangout." Perhaps the restaurant's biggest gift to the theatrical community was turning the terrible indignity of being associated with a failed show into an honor (albeit a dubious one) with its famous "flop wall."
