There are many reasons to visit New York, but here's one
of the most irresistible - a bar called Dante.
This Greenwich Village Italian-style aperitivo bar has just claimed
the Perrier-sponsored World's Best Bar Award, jumping eight
places from 2018, MailOnline Travel can exclusively reveal.
The gong was handed out at London's Roundhouse tonight as part of The World's 50 Best Bars 2019 awards, which was dominated by
the UK, with 10 bars in the prestigious ranking, and the USA, with seven - six in New York and one in San Francisco.

The awards organisers said: 'Dante [pictured] serves superb coffee and cocktails, as well as high-quality food,
becoming an international drinks destination at the same time as retaining a
buzzing neighbourhood bar vibe'
Dante is owned by two Australians, Nathalie Hudson and Linden Pride,
with creative direction by another Aussie, Naren Young. Here's
the team at the Roundhouse with their winners award.
