About

About Fanelli Cafe

Fanelli Cafe holds a special place in New York City history as one of the oldest continuously operating establishments in Manhattan. Located at 94 Prince Street in the heart of SoHo, the building itself dates to 1847 — before the neighborhood gained its name as an arts district. Originally a grocery store and saloon serving the working-class residents of lower Manhattan, it was officially licensed as a bar in 1922 during Prohibition (though rumors suggest it never entirely stopped serving).

The bar gained cultural cachet in the 20th century when it became a gathering spot for artists and bohemians drawn to SoHo's cast-iron lofts. Bob Dylan was among its regulars in the 1960s, and the cafe's walls remain decorated with vintage black-and-white photographs of boxers — a nod to its early identity as a boxing enthusiasts' hangout. The interior, with its original tin ceilings, wooden bar, and worn checkered floors, has been preserved largely as it was decades ago, making Fanelli's feel like a portal to another era of New York life.

The menu reflects the bar's unpretentious character: honest American pub food like burgers, chicken fingers, spaghetti and meatballs, and BLT sandwiches alongside craft beers and classic cocktails. In warmer months, the sidewalk seating spills onto Prince Street and has become one of SoHo's premier people-watching perches. Whether you're stopping in for a cold beer and the Rascal Burger or splurging on Steak Frites, Fanelli Cafe offers a rare slice of old New York that has survived the neighborhood's transformation into a luxury retail corridor.
