New York City’s iconic Empire Steak House added a new jewel to its crown with the grand opening of its third location in Midtown Manhattan, hosted by the Sinanaj brothers – Jeff, Russ, and Jack. The glittering event on Wednesday, October 25th, was attended by over 100 special guests, including the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams. The location at The Pearl Hotel, 233 W. 49th Street, was chosen as the stage for this grand celebration.
Distinguished speakers such as New York City Hospitality Alliance Executive Director Andrew Rigie, Broadway League President Charlotte St. Martin, Times Square Alliance President Tom Harris, and Broadway Association Chair Cristyne Nicholas shared their thoughts on how Empire Steak House symbolizes the resilience of New York City and the impact of Broadway on businesses like theirs.
The presence of Broadway stars Melba Moore and Andre De Shields added a touch of glamour to the evening, as Mayor Eric Adams himself participated in a ceremonial ribbon cutting. He praised the Sinanaj brothers for their remarkable journey and success, calling them the embodiment of the American Dream.
The guest list was star-studded, featuring Tony award-winning producer Irene Gandy, MJ star Elijah Johnson, Purlie Victorious cast members Heather Alicia Simms and Vanessa Bell Calloway, along with other notable names like Phillip Boykin, Natasha Yvette Williams, Thayne Jasperson, Kara Young, Lisa Arrindell, Emma Snowdon Jones, George Wayne, and Chazz Palminteri.
The foundation of Empire Steak House was built on the relentless determination and strong work ethic of the Sinanaj brothers. They arrived in New York City from Montenegro in the 1980s and honed their skills at Peter Luger Steak House before venturing out on their own. Today, they not only own Empire Steak House with locations on E. 50th Street, W. 54th Street, W. 49th Street, and Broadway, but also have a presence in Tokyo. Additionally, they own Chazz Palminteri Italian Restaurant, which can be found in NYC and Westchester.
