Step into a slice of New York history at Fanelli Cafe, SoHo's second-oldest food and drink establishment. This beloved neighborhood institution has been serving stiff drinks and unfussy American fare since 1847, attracting artists and locals alike with its welcoming vibe and classic red-checkered tablecloths. Grab a seat at the worn wooden bar for a perfectly mixed martini, or settle into the cozy back room for their famous chili and crispy fries.
