007 Restaurant: Sardi´s, New York, USA

SARDI´S

Location: New York, USA
Address: 234 West 44th Street
Bond book appearance: Diamonds Are Forever


In the heart of New York's Theater District, Sardi's has been the toast of Broadway for 90 years. Located at 234 West 44th Street the restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner. Late supper is served from Tuesday through Saturday.

"They moved out on the street, and Bond noticed that Leiter walked away with a heavy limp. “In Texas even the fleas are so rich they can hire themselves dogs. Let’s go. Sardi’s is just over the way. Leiter avoided the fashionable room at the famous actors’ and writers’ eating house and led Bond upstairs. His limp was more noticeable and he held on to the banisters. Bond made no comment, but when he left his friend at a corner table in the blessedly airconditioned restaurant and went off to the wash-room to clean himself up, he added up his impressions. The right arm had gone, and the left leg, and there were imperceptible scars below the hairline above the right eye that suggested a good deal of grafting. But otherwise Leiter looked in good shape.”

“There was a medium dry martini with a piece of lemon peel waiting for him.”
