The Oldest Restaurants & Bars In NYC - New York - The Infatuation

"For around 130 years, this cash-only Italian restaurant in East Harlem has operated as an exclusive supper club full of meatballs and celebrities. There are 10 tables—well, four tables and six booths—and securing one is nearly impossible unless you know a regular with a standing reservation, or your name is Jay-Z or Hillary Clinton. (Or you’re persistent, like us.) You can, however, stop by for a drink at the bar. Robert De Niro, Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio as Jordan Belfort in The Wolf Of Wall Street" - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
