-- It's the end of an era at the legendary Sardi's restaurant in the Theater District as a beloved bartender retires after a run longer than any Broadway show.Even at his own retirement party, the 78-year-old still did all the work -- shaking, stirring and pouring, which he's been doing at the legendary Sardi's restaurant for 55 years. It was 1968 when he started working at Sardi's, a premiere hotspot for show people both then and now.
"He would come to the bar with everybody, chat with everybody, having fun... That's what you want," Petrsoric said.Petrsoric will move to his native Croatia to live in the house he grew up in. "I came to New York to be an actress in my 20s... A 26-year-old who didn't have any money, he could've been like, 'I'm gonna take care of these people who tip me better,' but no, he was just a gracious person," Midtown resident Peggy Kennedy said.
