“I’ve been coming here since I was in my 30s, two to three times a month, always with friends. There used to be a woman who was 93 years old, and she would sit in the same seat that I love to sit in and have two martinis for lunch. I like to say we’ve earned those lunches, as women.” —Joan Sbarro Photo: Pari Dukovic
