the perfect spot for some Italian pastry or cappuccino, Cafe Reggio is the oldest "cafe" in the Village, and the proud owner of America's first cappuccino machine. An oasis of sanity on an otherwise bar-filled and drunken block, Cafe Reggio sits near the corner of West Third and MacDougal Street.

Does this mean it's reaching the end?

So true...it's a great place for a tranquil break on an otherwise chaotic block.

I did not know they had the first cappuccino machine - is it the one that's there now?

One of my favorite places. I remember the day that I realized I could get my cappuccino to go! I was working at the Minetta Lane and I spent the next 2 months having lovely takeout Reggio coffee!!

This light is wonderful in this. It is the just the right balance of day and night.
