Minetta Tavern: Hang out here long enough and you might see Tony Soprano cozy up to the bar for a drink with Johnny Sack over martinis and old-school Italian. The caricatures on the wall evoke a Theater District vibe, but the ambiance is more a transporting experience to the likes of Ol’ Blue Eyes. This former speakeasy has been a Village staple for what seems an eternity, and they still can’t keep the crowds away. This is definitely a place to find romance with your sweetheart in a less than hipster crowd, sans the mellow drama of a beer-pong contest in the surrounding NYU bar scene. |
