About
The first Fridays opened on the corner of 63rd+1st in New York, 1965 with the timeless promise ‘In here, it’s always Friday’. Inspired by the Barnum & Bailey Circus and with an ambition to put on the ‘greatest show on earth’ a red & white striped phenomenon was born. With flowing cocktails and charismatic bartenders, it quickly became the meeting place for local lovers of wild nights & fun times. Within a week it was the first restaurant requiring barricades to handle the hordes of enthusiastic guests! It became the meeting place that served not just hot food and drink but legendary atmosphere too!
