THE GARDEN IS OPEN!
There are
dozens, if not hundreds of Italian cafes in New York. With so many
fabulous ones strewn throughout the city, it would be virtually
impossible to choose the best. La Lanterna, however, is markedly
different because of its very romantic appeal. Located on Macdougal
Street just a hop, skip, and a jump from other noteworthy Italian cafes
such as Cafe Reggio and Cafe Dante, La Lanterna's Greenwich Village
neighborhood is almost a second Little Italy. La Lanterna consists of
two dimly-lit levels decorated in a dozy fashion, and with its close
proximity to the NYU Law School, there is something in this small cafe
that stirs visions of an intellectual and scholarly past. During the
cold New York winters, a fireplace is ablaze on the lower level, as
couples romancing one another and students reading the likes of
Nietzsche and Beckett can be seen sipping their espressos while
attempting to thaw out. Because it is less visible than many
neighboring cafes, at La Lanterna you can avoid the crowds that so
often invade Greenwich Village while enjoying a private moment with
your companion. --Romantic New York
"The coziest café in Gotham." --Zagat 1998
"Sit by the cozy fireplace at this village Italian coffeehouse. It's dark, romantic and quaint." --Zagat 2000
" Be prepared to snuggle up because this Village coffee house screams romance" --Zagat 2001
"
This intimate Village coffeehouse oozes old world charm thanks to a
fireplace that's as warming as the rich cream on the espresso..." --Zagat 2003
"by night a dark, sexy, nexus for cuddling up with someone special" --Zagat 2005
"Nothing
beats the ambiance of this romantic Village Italian, a paradise on
rainy nights thanks to it's roaring fireplaces, live jazz and covered
garden..." --Zagat 2008
