Broadway Restaurant, an old-school Upper West Side diner on Broadway between 101st and 102nd Street that opened in 1970 nearly succumbed to a devastating fire on New Year’s Day. But owner Tony Arsenis has gotten the place back up and running, and he’s now planning to reopen on Wednesday.

We are aware that the reply button on the comment form is broken on mobile (it's ok on desktop) and we are working on fixing it ASAP! Thanks for your patience!
That’s great – best wishes to Mr. Arsenis!
So do we know what caused the fire anyway? I haven’t seen any follow-up on this.
Good luck!
I am overjoyed! I passed by with my brother last week and the two fellas inside, one of whom I’m assuming was Tony Arsenis, told us that they would be reopening soon. I can’t wait to become the “regular” I always wanted to be!
Yay!!!
Happy you’re back. See you soon!
Today was the re-opening and this morning my friend and I returned. We congratulated everyone and sat down in a window booth. In this era of local businesses going out of business left and right, these guys came back. So happy for them.
Bravo & much good luck! This place is like ” Cheers” for me- a home away from home, a place you feel where you belong! Thanks, & wishing you many more good years!… Gila
Where everybody knows your name…You wanna go where everybody knows your name!
Brings back memories. Does Nickelodeon still play Cheers re-runs?
Yes!! What great news.
Gristedes on 86st off Broadway.. is closing soon !
Nothing foodwise has opened since Food Empirium closed.. unbelievable lack of supermarkets.. however,
More and more buildings are going up!!
No one cooks at home anymore. They grab and go.
I’m here right now and the place looks fabulous. Meaning – it’s exactly the same as before!
Best of luck and we will be coming by!
Great news! I am so happy the Broadway re opened. I go to eat there every time I visit NYC. Congrats to Tony, Chris, Theresa and everyone involved, all the best to everyone, and thank you for re opening!
Yay! and when will the original Big- Nicks re-open?
