American · Pub/Tavern · New York, NY
About
One reviewer calls Fanelli Cafe a great place for simple pub grub, and the burgers are big enough to split. This Soho staple has been open since 1922, offering American classics like sandwiches, salads, and burgers at reasonable prices. It's a mixed gay and straight crowd, family-friendly, and casual. You'll find a full bar, outdoor seating, and a happy hour vibe. It's dog friendly too.
"I typically order their burgers, so I can't speak to the rest of the menu."
Late night hours run until 1am Thursday through Saturday. The crowd is a mix of locals and tourists stopping in for a no-fuss meal in an expensive neighborhood. If you want a classic New York pub experience without the pretense, this is your spot.
Fanelli Cafe sits in Soho near the corner of Mercer and Greene Streets, putting it right in the middle of the neighborhood's shopping and gallery scene.

“Ol' faithful”
This spot is excellent for basic bar food. I typically order their burgers, so I can't speak to the rest of the menu. The burgers are large enough to share. It's an ideal spot to grab an affordable meal in a pricey area.
