On sunny day in 1854 the Bailer family stood proudly in front of their brand new gingerbread decorated hotel and restaurant on what was then Ludlow Avenue in the Bronx. Bailers as the establishment was known then soon became a landmark in the rural community and the family grew and prospered as the Bronx grew around it. The years slipped away. The century turned. As the storm clouds gathered heralding WWI two brothers in law arrived from Esperia, Italy and theyre futures at the Bailers Hotel were destined to meet. It wasnt until 1940 that Giuseppe Perotta and Giuseppe Bevilacqua purchased Bailers. This was the birth of Joe & Joe In years to follow, the two Joes became known throughout the city as excellent and knowledgeable restauranteurs. A tradition in fine family-style dining began. A generation later in 1960, the two Joes retired, passing on the reigns to oddly enough two Tonys: Tony Perrotta and Tony Longobardo, members of the younger generation well groomed in the tradition of Joe & Joe. Now a city landmark continues to flourish under the leadership of the Longobardo family Now with over 70 years and 3 family generations later, my family and I continue the tradition of good home-style cooking in Pearl River, NY
