Wall Street’s strongest cheerful are not for the New York Stock Exchange Bell, but for the opening of the five most dynamic restaurants that FIDI has ever seen under a single roof.
They are at Printemps, the new fashion store in Paris, which is the Glam Showpiece of One Wall Street: the old Irving Trust office recently converted into luxury condominis.
The neighborhood, once killed by quality cuisine, is now a lively residential district and a mall.
He is enjoying a renaissance of the dining room with the Revivit Delmonico on Beaver Street, Saga and Crown Shy at 70 Pine Street and animated interior coffee shops on Stone Street.
But he never had anything like the nexus of printemps, of cuisine and kitchen of printemps, who are amazing and delicious food lovers, stage manufacturers and night owls.
Last Friday at 10 pm, two hours after the Printemps store – its emblematic restaurant, Maison Passerelle, sprout like a Wall Street Balthazar with couples dressed in killing.
In the following afternoon, the Vert Hall, a second floor bar/coffee shop and green and green, it was so full, I had to wait for a seat at the bar.
Was this really happening on Broadway and Wall Street, a corner where the favorite dish was historically a hot street car?
Olivia Gracey, 31, a West Village publicist who is not involved with Printemps, was as surprised as I was the culinary pleasures of Printemps.
“We ran into the Vert Hall as a rescue of the sunglasses and the bags. Now I’m obsessed,” he told me. “Drink the sweet potato soup with a straw if they were left.”
Wealth ADVISOR/Consultant Marina Warner, 41, favors Cafe Jalu, a casual coffee shop next to Maison Passerelle.
“People who look like wild and hilarious. I didn’t know that so many great people were in fidi with huge dogs,” he added, “Au chocolat pain is quite crazy when I need to eat my feelings in a good way.”
The five restaurants are led by the Haitian chef, Gregory Gourdet, by Kent Hospitality Group, appointed by his beloved founder, the missing chef James Kent.
Instead of offering predictable training from family standards, Gourdet, a finalist of the “upper chef” in Bravo, bravely intertwining French cuisine with flavors of the French diaspora: the old Colonies of Canada in the West Indies in Vietnam. There is no political statement behind; The dishes are only intended to taste wonderful, which almost everything did.
The 85 seats of Maison Passerelle are the place to catch the best Gourdet work. The aerated space designed by Laura Gonzalez (who did all the restaurants) has a vaguely tropical mood, with a marble mosaic, walnut walls, red tables with red drops and green and white fabric benches.
Except for a fun cursing of mushroom broth with nuclear Thai Chilis that made three of us, almost everything was delicious. A banana bread and warm and rich grass (dollars) holder ($ 14) was filled sinfully.
The best dish was the duck duck breast and confit in cane syrup and bathed in Tamarind Jus: a powerful western interaction inspired by the game-y, sweet and sweet. I almost didn’t care about the price of $ 72, as it could be enough to serve -two.
Spaghetti with Maine Lobster ($ 60) came perfectly to the Dente. The tomato sauce was rich and abundant, but the lobster was too chewed. It would have been very pleased with half the general part of seafood if it were twice as tender.
In Salon Verte, I enjoyed herbed, round focaccia with a crunchy crust ($ 14) and a prawn Creole ($ 32) that caused Habanero, Black Pepper and Rave.
Then there is the bar of the Red Room, an appendix of the red room of the building next to the street of the building. The magnificent space was open only to Bny Mellon’s executives until the bank moved in 2015. It now serves as a store shoe department with Manolo Blahniks made of $ 1,375.
Sam Freeman, 33, an executive of world hotel collaborations in American Express Travel & Lifestyle, likes the “vibrant energy and the unique atmosphere of the red bar, perfect for a meeting or a drink after work and dinner”.
Favors Kafe Negroni ($ 21) chopped with Haitian coffee. For me, a crunchy chicken sandwich (24 dollars) in a potato bread with cabbage gang and Remoulade was all that I needed to see that the fashionists gently descended a circular staircase to the ground floor with their little ones, huge and lowercase, nearby.
The values market is unpleasant, but I am a bull in the new Wall Street meals.
