Fedora, a restaurant that opened in 1952, has become a cherished institution in Greenwich Village, drawing a loyal crowd known as the Fedorables. Named after its original owner, Fedora Dorato, the restaurant symbolizes a rich, bohemian history tied to the community. While Fedora has experienced changes in management and style over the years, its legendary neon sign and prime location keep drawing the modern equivalent of its original patrons, now known as West Village Girls. Despite challenges, including a pandemic closure, Fedora continues to thrive in its latest iteration.
"Long ago, the Fedorables, as they were known, gathered at 239 West 4th Street, under a neon sign saluting their patroness, for red-sauce prix fixe..."
"Despite a basement space, Fedora is in a prime location, in a 1910 building, with one of the most iconic neon signs north of the Odeon and south of NBC."
