Sometimes progress takes
a backseat to tradition. Most of the time progress means bulldozing
the past and paving it over with some shiny new metal toy... Thank
goodness that some SOHO person along the way decided to keep a place
like Fanelli's around, despite being surrounded by shops with $12,000
skirts and bakeries with $8 muffins. Established in 1847, this place
is old. So old, in fact, that they don't serve latte, have anything
on the menu resembling arugula, and will throw you out on your ass
for ordering a cosmopolitan. (That last part might not be true, but
one can hope.) Serving basic pub grub, Fanelli's makes a mean burger
and serves up the brew in a laid back atmosphere that is equal parts
tourist, local bohemian and casual Sunday shoppers. There are times
when the place gets packed on the weekends, and even stirs up a little
rowdiness, but it still remains one of the few places in this part
of town in which you will not and cannot feel too fat or too underdressed
(we're not talking suit and tie underdressed, but Prada/Gucci/Versaci
underdressed.) [MF] |
