Ann said I should photograph my burger, so I did! After our first gallery visit she said knew of a great restaurant for lunch not too far from where the gallery was. Would I like to go there? She said it has been around forever. So I said "Yes!" The restaurant is called "Fanelli Cafe." "Around forever?" Yeah I guess so. "Fanelli Cafe is a historic New York City restaurant and bar considered the city's second-oldest food-and-drink establishment in the same locale, having operated under various owners at 94 Prince Street since 1847."
Here is a view from outside. The orange things in the street are barriers to protect people dining in the outside structures that have been here since COVID. Makes it difficult to take a really nice photograph of the building and the facade of the restaurant, unfortunately.
And inside? WOW! Check this bar out! When you are there in person and can examine the architectural details and the bar itself and the carved dark wood behind the bar, it is clear that this has been here forever.
This is a detail of a dining room off the main bar room. I love the light pouring in through the large glass windows and the checkered tablecloths. The food was wonderful and the atmosphere just magical. I had to shoot all these photographs to show you this great restaurant! Oh, and Ann said that everyone's favorite photograph will be the burger! Do you agree?

Yes, your burger looks delicious! Love the checkered tablecloths and the beautifully detailed wood bar. It is wonderful to read that the Fanelli Cafe has been around for so long. Betsey
Amazing the bar has been there for so many years. The bar is beautiful with the wood, glass and lighting and it looks like a nice gathering place in the neighborhood. The hamburger looks good and so does the bread and the soup in the background. Trace
Hands down favorite of the series is the All American Burger, Fries and a Coke. I had to check out the menu: twenty bucks for a burger, fries and a properly pickled dill pickle.
