Sadly, the decades-old restaurant Fedora in the West Village has permanently closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Fedora was originally founded as an Italian restaurant by Fedora Dorato and was in business from 1952 to 2010.

We originally photographed Fedora in 2009 for our book "New York Nights" and also spoke with Fedora Dorato’s son, Charles about the history of the space. He told us that “Fedora’s became well known in the neighborhood because my parents were willing to serve same sex couples whereas many restaurants in the city did not serve gay men.” Fedora did all the cooking as well as ran the day-to-day operations of the restaurant until July 2010 when she retired at 90 years old.”
• In recent years, the restaurant had been renovated and under the ownership of restauranteur Gabriel Stulman, but we loved its neon sign which was recreated to match the older original sign.
