Coffee in Greenwich Village

Domenico Parisi opened this on MacDougal Street in 1927 and the 1902 espresso machine he bought is still standing in the front. The walls are hung with Italian paintings and an old Medici bench, and nobody hurries you off a marble table. It runs to three in the morning most nights, which is later than almost any other café in the neighborhood.

Mon to Thu and Sun, 9am to 3am. Fri and Sat, 9am to 4:30am

Pasquale Albanese started this on Bleecker Street in 1907 and the Longo family bought it in 1958. Burlap sacks of green and roasted beans line the floor and the smell reaches the sidewalk. There is a small counter for espresso and iced coffee if you do not want a pound of beans.

Mon to Fri, 8am to 7pm. Sat, 9am to 7pm. Sun, 10am to 6pm
