Opened in 1927, Caffe Reggio is one of the most historic cafes in New York , credited with introducing the cappuccino to the US. The outdoor tables on MacDougal are perfect for Monty and the team. Inside is dim and packed with antiques; outside is a proper sidewalk scene. The espresso is strong and the vibe is completely unhurried. Go here when you have 20 minutes and want to feel like you're somewhere in the West Village rather than between Zoom calls.
