According to construction workers, Keith McNally’s redo of Minetta Tavern will be ready to go six weeks from now. Quoth Eater, “Workers tell us they are keeping the original bar but replacing all furniture and re-tiling the entire space (note that new floor). They also tell us the spot is going to be a bit more upscale than the predecessor, with the drinks prices rising slightly.” Just once, we’re keeping nostalgia in check. McNally, people. McNally!
