New York Exploration | Minetta Tavern, a Restaurant Loved by Hemingway

Located in the #WestVillage, this French restaurant, Minetta Tavern, has been in business since 1937 and boasts an 84-year history. It was awarded a Michelin star in 2018. 🌟 🌅 Named after a small stream in the West Village, Minetta Waters, the restaurant's predecessor, "Black Rabbit," was founded during the American Prohibition era as an underground speakeasy. After Prohibition ended, it became a favorite haunt for many writers and artists living in New York. 🌅 Literary giants like Ernest Hemingway, poet Ezra Pound, Dylan Thomas (the author of the famous poem "Do not go gentle into that good night" from Star Trek), Nobel laureate Eugene O'Neill were all regulars here. 🌅The cultural atmosphere is so rich that even the global magazine Reader's Digest had its original headquarters in the basement of this place. #NewYork 🌃
