The Bar Room

After a great dinner at Le Gratin, went to this lounge that was right beside it in the financial district.

Great architecture, vibe, and drinks.

For my first drink asked for something between an old fashion and whisky sour, but did not have simple syrup. They gave me something pretty good, but wish it was slightly sweeter (my fault for not mentioning they could have thrown table sugar in there).

For my second drink asked for a pisco sour. That was great.

Food menu looked good, it did not order anything. Next time.

Le Gratin

Ate at this restaurant from a recommendation from a friend. Really great.

Menu is mainly in French, so took a while to decide what to get. Aside from the beat salad everything was awesome (mainly since I don’t like beats).

For drinks, we got a bottle of red wine to share (Chateau Pegau). Great for pairing with the rest of the food.

For food, we did family style. Got the steak tartare (with sour dough bread), the Pate (with chicken liver), brats salad, the gratin, and medium-rare duck. Best duck I’ve ever had (the duck itself and the sauce).

For desert got the PROFITEROLE CHOCOLAT-NOISETTE. Great choice.

Eataly

An Italian food market great for drinks and, well Italian food and pastries. (There are also locations in Vegas and Paris, but this one is about the New York).

This is located at the World Trade Center building 4. Definitely great for Aperol Spritz and making your own cannoli (made mine with cow’s milk, and ciocolatto, which is 70% chocolate).

Next time I really want to try the pizza and/or pastas.
