Bridge Cafe, New York

Snuggled cozily under the Brooklyn bridge, this cafe is older than the bridge itself and the establishment claims to be the longest continuously run business in the city. Since 1794, this building has operated "as a drinking establishment" in some incarnation or another for over two centuries. The old tavern even has its own requisite ghost stories and it has been featured in many Hollywood films. Today, the Bridge is a favorite haunt of politicians and financial wizards who feast on crab meat and single malt scotch. The house specialty on the menu would definitely be their fresh seafood, yet they ply an assortment of other items like burgers, steaks and chops. The amicable staff, good food and the ambiance of Old New York are what make this spot retain its longevity, and as such, it will probably remain for another 100 years.
