About the Business

Specialties

Since its inception, The Pink Door has provided nightly entertainment (visit "events" on our website for calendar) designed to amuse, provoke and sometimes enlighten (there is Tarot, after all!). From Tamara the Trapeze lady writhing from the 20-foot ceiling to kinetic jazz ensembles, from benefit lingerie shows to a tap-dancing saxophone player & provacative cabaret which welcomes levity, whimsy, eccentricity and a little decadence.

History

Established in 1981.

In 1981, a whimsically-inclined, twenty-something Italian-American ingénue put her creative hooks and inspiration from travels abroad (teemed with her not-so-faraway restaurant experience) into a surreal cellar of a space that became equal parts Bohemian loft, Trattoria, and Pigalle cabaret. La Padrona Jacquelina Di Roberto wasted no time filling the place with artistic touches, a seasonally changing menu of hearty, honest, Italian-American food and wine, spirited service and eccentric, alluring entertainment. The Pink Door quickly brought a new spark to her end of what was an otherwise dull Post Alley. An engaging set of kindred spirits, friends and loved ones soon gathered for a soulful respite of food and drink. Over 40 years later, The Pink Door is still as lively and convivial as its owner. Since opening, a new generation has spawned to the stoop of our surreal portal.
