Browne's Chop House was a New York City restaurant that was popular with the theatrical crowd.
[3] It was originally located on Fourteenth Street near Wallack's Theatre, where Browne was a member of the company.
Its final owner, F. J. Farrington, blamed the growth of speakeasies and cafeterias for the closing, in addition to rising rents and the northward move of the theatrical district.
[16] The owners of the Schrafft's restaurant chain leased the building for a tea room.
[17][18] Today, the former location of Browne's and the Empire Theatre is occupied by a 22-story office building built for Lowenstein & Sons, completed in 1956.
