Pete’s Tavern on Irving Place at 18th Street is one of NYC’s oldest continuously operating bar/restaurants and is a wonderful place to visit especially during Christmas. It was established in 1864, and become famous because O. Henry is said to have written the classic short Christmas story “The Gift of the Magi” while dining and drinking in a booth inside the pub. We were lucky enough to go inside and see the gorgeous holiday decorations adorning the historic pub and also showcase the booth where O. Henry sat.
