Lady Gaga: The Ultimate Superfan Guide
Where Lady Gaga refuels at her family's Upper West Side trattoria before headlining MSG.
Lady Gaga is a born-and-bred New Yorker (she grew up on the Upper West Side), and her Mayhem Ball residency at Madison Square Garden — six nights in August 2025 followed by another run in March-April 2026 — was billed as a hometown homecoming. The Germanotta family base is Joanne Trattoria at 70 West 68th Street, opened by Gaga's parents Joe and Cynthia in 2012 and named for Stefani's late aunt Joanne (who died at 19 from lupus). Gaga is a part-owner and has made surprise appearances at the restaurant — most famously serving customers herself during her album rollouts. It's now a programmed dinner-theater destination (drag bingo, cabaret), and the closest thing in NYC to dining inside a Lady Gaga lyric.
