1:24Now PlayingComedian and actor Sebastian Conelli heads to Greenwich Village’s legendary Caffe Reggio to uncover how a quiet café became a loud origin point for America’s espresso obsession. What looks like just another cozy NYC coffee stop turns out to be home to one of the first espresso machines in the United States—and the birthplace of the cappuccino as we know it. From a barber’s chair to a century-old Italian machine still grinding away, the story behind this spot is pure immigrant hustle steeped in tradition. No spoilers, but by the end you’ll never look at your $8 latte the same way again.
