A Greenwich Village tavern that opened in 1937, with Hemingway and e.e. cummings among its old regulars, restored by Keith McNally with red leather banquettes, a pressed-tin ceiling, a checkerboard floor and caricatures on the walls. It's known for the Black Label burger and the côte de boeuf for two. I had the Black Label burger and it was really good. The burger feels like a really top-quality home-cooked burger. I also had their famous coconut cake and while I'm not a cake person I can tell it's a good cake. Book ahead; walk-ins rarely work.
