"Opened in 1937, this Michelin-starred restaurant has attracted plenty of literary luminaries over the years, including Ernest Hemingway and e.e. cummings. It continues to attract crowds (consisting of the famous as well as the not so famous) with its classic-Paris-bistro-meets-NYC-steakhouse vibe. The menu at Minetta Tavern boasts roasted bone marrow and trout meunière, plus plenty of aperitifs, beers, wines, and cocktails to drink with whatever you order." - Katherine Martinelli
