Exchange Bar & Lounge: In most New York neighborhoods, the sports bar/lounge is as ubiquitous as Duane Reade Drugs; but in a post-work ghost town like the Financial District, bars like this are a rare and welcome commodity. The Exchange is the perfect place to have a beer, watch the game, make a friend, and um, brush up on your pole dancing skills? (There’s one downstairs). Yes, this place appeals to all crowds, but the suits are what keep it alive. And frankly, ten flat screen TVs, 25-cent wings, and $3 Bud Light drafts (from 4pm-7pm) make this place a banker’s paradise. Suddenly, power-suited pole dancing just got a lot better. |
