Cocktails at Table 7- Inside New York’s Joe Allen

Cocktails with Victor Garber: It feels good.

Episode Summary

For our first episode of 2022, we shared a round with one of the classiest and most accomplished people we know, Victor Garber. Victor’s association with Joe’s goes back decades and we were thrilled to have him share memories of evenings spent there with colleagues and friends. We were treated to hilarious and heartwarming anecdotes about legends past, including Gilda Radner, Robert Moore, Stephen Sondheim, and Maureen Stapleton. We also covered the pleasures of a visit to Schitt’s Creek, the charms of Bernadette Peters and Jennifer Garner, and the undeniable appeal of a Joe Allen LaScala Salad. Like Victor himself, an actor who has played everyone from Jesus to Liberace, this conversation has a lot of range
