Les Halles Downtown: This dimly lit French brasserie draws suits and local residents for after-work drinks and solid meals that justify this popular place’s lack of elbowroom. The entire place is decked out in dark wood and the ceilings are high. Behind the long, wide bar, upon which rest medieval-looking candelabras, are impressive wine racks; Les Halles’ list includes more than 60 different bottles. The 25 single-malt Scotches complete a healthy listing of drink choices. And with all this, Les Halles offers more sensual appeal and atmosphere than many of the other establishments down here near Wall Street, where options are many, but variety is limited. |
