Fanelli's Cafe

This downscale neighborhood bar in upscale SoHo always attracts a crowd and is open until 2 a.m. It's been here since 1872, long before the area was transformed from a warehouse-and-factory district into a trendy hub full of art galleries and expensive shops. The hamburgers and french fries are great, and though nothing else is particularly good, the atmosphere makes up for it. Be sure to take a look at the beautiful glass door.
