"On a Friday night you’ll find the Lower East Siders at Rolo’s, but the real party is going down 10 minutes away, at Joe’s Restaurant. This old-school Italian spot has been perfecting its chicken marsala recipe since 1982, and if you’re now thinking to yourself “who eats chicken marsala,” stop right there, because at Joe’s, everyone does. Come here for a birthday dinner, or just when you’re craving a meatball in a dining room with framed paintings of garlic and Venice lining the walls, and big families gesticulating in Italian, with full glasses of house red sloshing back and forth in their hands.
