If you look beyond the throngs of suits and tourists, you’ll find hidden pearls of art, culture, and damn good coffee embedded in the often-overlooked underbelly of the Financial District. Satisfy any craving by grabbing lunch at one of the eager-to-serve pizzerias, diners, bakeries, sushi shops, or halal carts, abuzz with the midday rush. Top off the day with a drink at one of the many character-filled bars nestled in the boozy nightlife of FiDi.
Launched in early 2014, Le District hosts an impressive array of delectable french-inspired fare under one roof, including a fromagerie, patisserie, charcuterie, rotisserie, and grocery. Amongst the bustle of the marketplace, enjoy river views and outdoor seating at their two stand-alone restaurants, Beaubourg and L’Appart, for an eclectic French-New York culinary experience. Finally, wind down the day with a glass of wine or a craft cocktail at Le Bar, or satisfy your sweet tooth by indulging at La Cure Gourmande, the only U.S. outpost of this renowned French candy shop!
