Caffe Reggio - early Greenwich Village espresso culture

Caffe Reggio opened in 1927 on MacDougal Street and became a longstanding Greenwich Village coffeehouse associated with Beat and bohemian culture. The café has been widely credited in popular accounts with introducing the cappuccino to American patrons in the early 20th century and remains noted for its historical interior and espresso service. It continues to operate at the same location as a neighborhood landmark for coffee and cultural gatherings.
