Joe Zelli (Rome 1889 – Copake, New York 1971) ran celebrated nightclubs in Paris and New York City from the 1910s to the 1930s.[1]
Zelli's Club, 16bis rue Fontaine, Paris opened in 1922 and closed in 1932. It had a balcony with an American bar and "royal boxes". Zelli owned other clubs as well.[2]
A caricaturist named Zito drew guests to the nightclub over a period of four years, making a celebrity wall downstairs.[2] This is said to be the inspiration for the caricatures at Sardi's in New York.[3]
