Minetta Tavern……a must see

I never knew the history of Minetta Tavern nor the fact that there is a Minetta Lane in Manhattan! Minetta lane is charming with its newly planted trees and the new Minetta Tavern that has been rejuvenated by Keith McNally is in a word….brilliant! The mood is Now and yet the walls of photographs and characitures “speak” to a different era that was filled with nights of parties, fun and laughter. For sure I thought my parents and their friends would appear any moment……. dining in one of the fabulous red leathe booths. And I am certain that Mad Man will be filming one of their episodes here……if they ever come back …July 27th seems like an eternity. Mr McNally’s success is obvious…he doesn’t miss a detail including the attire on the staff. I met someone who worked for him at one of his other establishements and she said he was a wonderful person to work for and was so inspired by his vision. I have already been back for a second visit and know there will be many more visits to come. Have yet to eat there but will report as soon as I do. You thought MacDougal street was busy before? The success of Minetta Tavern will push it to a new limit. Treat yourself to a cocktail at the bar and just absorb everything….not the least of which is the music!
