Minetta Tavern
New York City

The streets outside Minetta Tavern are crawling with NYU students, but they never go in this former speakeasy in the heart of Greenwich Village. Probably because it’s too old, too comfortable, too congenial. Too great. (113 MacDougal Street at Minetta Lane; 212-475-3850)
