Cafe Minerva

Cafe Minerva is another West Village restaurant with a decidedly European feel. Enormous front windows give the interior a beautiful glow that only natural light can lend. Small tables surround a center bar with the counter space dominated by a beautiful Victoria Arduino Athena espresso machine. The focal point of the bar, the Athena presides over the entire café with an air of regal authority. Feel welcome to linger here for a few hours over your coffee and order some small plates, which offer welcome sustenance after an afternoon of daydreaming.
