Profile

At Jean-Claude Baker’s lively homage to his adopted mother, Josephine Baker, the welcome’s so warm, it feels like a homecoming, and the piano is live every night. Bistro standbys—boeuf bourguignonne, deftly cooked salmon—are good enough. Southern fried chicken is fabulous, and le délice Josephine delivers paradise in chocolate. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Brunch

Sun., noon–4 p.m.
