Greenwich Village Cappuccino Among More Than 80 Artworks
Spot the original espresso machine and De Medici bench in a cafe Kerouac favored, open until 3 AM most nights.
☕ A Cup Of Village History
Caffe Reggio turns a coffee break on MacDougal Street into a brush with old New York. Opened in 1927 by Dominico Parisi, the Greenwich Village institution introduced cappuccino to the United States. You can linger over a cup in a coffee house that writers Jack Kerouac and Gregory Corso also favoured.
Renaissance Italy shapes the interior, where a bench bears the De Medici family crest. The original espresso machine remains in the room, a reminder of the founder who imported it. Around those pieces, people read, work, and chat among a collection of more than 80 works of art.
At 119 MacDougal St, the doors open at 9 AM every day and stay open until 3 AM Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with Friday and Saturday closing at half past four AM. That leaves room for an early cup or a late night conversation.
