Congrats to Anika Noni Rose — a while back she told us about going to Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop, so she’s obviously fond of the old school. Last night, she became a part of it by getting her caricature on the wall at Sardi’s, along with cast mates Terrence Howard and Phylicia Rashad. They join the likes of Robert De Niro, D.W. Griffith, Bob Hope, Helen Keller, Al Pacino, Lynn Redgrave, John Steinbeck, and lots of others. Of course, it's too little, too late as far as getting on the Sardi's-inspired walls of Mo Pitkin's.

The Times has lavished a lengthy obituary on Vincent Sardi Jr., one of the last great old-time restaurateurs. Sardi died today in a Vermont hospital at age 91. His eponymous theater-district restaurant was the nerve center of the Broadway world for decades; no celebrity chef, design team, or carefully cultivated staff could create the kind of atmosphere that he produced with the sheer warmth and vigor of his personality. Like everyone else, we’re sorry to see Mr. Sardi go.
