Minetta Tavern stands out for its dimly lit interior, where checkered floors meet dark wood paneling and walls covered in framed caricatures. Opened in nineteen thirty-seven, the restaurant takes its name from the vanished Minetta Brook that once flowed through this part of Greenwich Village. It operated for decades as a gathering spot for writers and poets, attracting figures like Ernest Hemingway, Eugene O'Neill, and E.E. Cummings.
