​

​Trinity Place 

115 Broadway

One of our favorite places to eat in the FiDi and not only because of the elegant and sophisticated decor and gracious service within a bank vault dating from 1904 - which is very cool by itself - but everything on the menu is cooked to perfection, incorporating the freshest ingredients and local produce. Whether you come for the meat or fish or just for drinks at the bar, you will not be disappointed.
