A tour of the reopening of Original Joe’s guided by SF native and part owner, Patricia Herman, who captures and communicates the restaurant spirit that made Original Joe’s the place where many Bay Area families made memories. She speaks knowledgeably about the restoration and remodeling efforts to recreate the ambiance and taste that puts SF on the map and on the palette. Interspersed throughout, she recounts humorous tales about the neighborhood and the restaurant business. Viewers will experience the charm and the history of the foodie business that brings Tony Bennett’s lyrics back. Mr. Bennett will have his own room dedicated to him. Classic SF entertainment and reliving an integral part of SF history.
Jimo Perini, photographer, who captures the images of a black and white of North Beach of the 50s and 60s among other subjects he has preserved in one shutter click. As an SF senior he is still going strong mentoring photographers and processing his own film in the lab. Aside from the photography, he is also a raconteur who engrosses the listener with charming stories of SF and beyond.
Thanks for the suggestion, Barbara. Mr. Perini sounds like an interesting man.
Have you any idea how we might contact him?
Best,
Becca
