Description

This Keith McNally (Pastis, Balthazar) remake of a Village old-timer reverently preserves the louche interior, while switching the menu from Italian-American to French brasserie fare, with an emphasis on meats and, especially, organ meats. Thus the sturdy roasted marrow bones offered with plenty of toasts is one of the restaurant"s glories, though so is the microscopic plain omelet that makes one of the best starters. For the culinarily timid, there"s a selection of well-turned-out fish, but those wishing to get down with their bad selves will prefer the torpedo of compressed and fried pig foot. You can"t go wrong with the burger-but pick the one that"s $15, rather than $26. The fries are exceptional, of course, and the bread is from Balthazar, the city"s best bakery.

2009 | Best Bone Marrow

Among variety meats, bone marrow--the slimy generative tissue in the hollow interior of long bones--has been neglected by all but the French, who consider it the perfect thing to spread on toast. The popularity of marrow has multiplied in the last year, so that now there are a half-dozen or more restaurants in town that feature it. Though we've long loved the appetizer at Landmarc, our fave this year is at Minetta Tavern, where the bone marrow starter features extensively roasted... More »
2007 | Best old-school Greenwich Village restaurant

Minetta Tavern is where crazy old Joe Gould bragged to The New Yorker's Joseph Mitchell about the greatest book never written. You can spot Gould's grizzled visage among the scores of black-and-white ink drawings that line the walls of this Village throwback. Former stars of stage, sport, politics, and literature--most of them long-forgotten luminaries--all clambered onto the bar stools of the former speakeasy, raising glasses of illegal beverages and offering their profiles...

Where to Get: Souffle

By Lauren Bloomberg | Tue, March 13, 2012

Stuffy, fussy, and difficult to make are all things that come to mind when soufflé is mentioned. However, the puffy dessert is not much more difficult to make than a bowl of Jell-O. Seriously.... More »

The Minetta Tavern Has Been Made Into a Video Game

New York City Martini Crawl

By Sarah DiGregorio | Tue, December 15, 2009

The best thing about a gin martini is how bracing it is—invitingly ice-cold and silken, the juniper wallop of the gin smoothed out by a glug of vermouth. Plus—if we're being honest—it's guaranteed to get you tipsy. But the current fascination with... More »

The special burger is kinda worth the extravagant $25 price tag... ambiance is crowded and a bit bourgeois. Plan on going back for non-burger fare.
