Minetta Tavern is a Greenwich Village gem that serves up a nostalgic mix of luxe French bistro dishes and timeless NYC charm, great for star-gazing over a legendary burger.
"Mega-NYC restaurateur Keith McNally, who’s about to bring his iconic Minetta Tavern down to D.C., promised all Balthazar tables a free bottle of Taittinger Champagne had Harris won." - Tierney Plumb
"Minetta Tavern in Downtown NYC offers a $47 steak frites, served with a choice of maître d’ butter or sauce Béarnaise, in an iconic dining room with a rich history and ambiance." - Melissa McCart
"Imagine. You had a long, stressful day. The doorbell buzzes. Behold! A dry-aged ribeye patty and a sweet little mound of caramelized onions, all on a lightly toasted brioche bun. Yes, Minetta Tavern’s black label burger can be yours. All you have to do is call order online or call 212-475-3850 between 5 and 10pm." - hannah albertine
"A little over a week after critic Robert Sietsema checked into Minetta Tavern, Swift visited with Phoebe Bridgers. Restaurateur Keith McNally gave the rundown of her visit, noting she had oysters, scallops to share, and Dover sole (Bridgers had the lobster). Apparently, word traveled fast, as there were allegedly about 100 people waiting to see her Minetta Lane when she left." - Melissa McCart
"At $38 the Black Label Burger at Minetta Tavern was one of the first super-luxe burgers in the city—and it’s still one of the best. The butter-basted patty is made from dry-aged ribeye, and it's topped with a mound of caramelized onions on a Balthazar bun. The Minetta Burger ($31) is slightly juicier, with a little less funk, and it comes with cheddar. Reservations can be hard to get on short notice, but try for a walk-in bar seat (we've also seen them packing this burger out for delivery)." - will hartman, bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore, kenny yang
