Greenwich Village's beloved Caffé Danté opened in 1915 in what was then a very Italian neighborhood of Manhattan. Today, that same neighborhood is in NYU territory, and the establishment now simply goes by "Danté."
While it's no longer under the original ownership, the current proprietors seek to keep the venue's old New York flair and Italian heritage. In the afternoons, rather than Happy Hour, they host Aperitivo Hour, a tribute to Italy's post-work cocktail culture. To that end, the cocktails also seamlessly mix the old with the new, the Italian with the New Yorker.
