Milano’s Bar

Milano's occupies a shotgun-narrow room on East Houston Street, with a bar running down most of one side and a scatter of low stools in back. Nikola Tesla kept a laboratory across the street between 1895 and 1899. What was once a full menu that included veal is down to bags of chips behind the bar, and a jukebox covers whatever else there is to do. It's cash only and opens at 8am most days, closing at 4am, with Sunday starting later at 10pm.
