Trinity Place: Trinity Place isn’t any poor man’s pub. Modeled after Dublin’s swankiest eateries, this brand-new bar marries Irish charm and downtown style with a Wall Street twist: It’s in a vault. Patrons enter through an impressive door with the trappings of a high-security bank chamber (a tribute to Trinity’s location, in the old US Realty Bank Vault), set off by coppery wall panels and polished cherry floors. You might need to rob a bank to drink here—cocktails average at about $10-$12, so swing a sponsor (read: banker), if you can. Try the Champagne Charlie (originally exclusive to Dublin 6, Trinity Place’s West Village cousin), the drink of the house, made of Stoli Raspberry and champagne; if that’s too fancy for your britches, go for something from Trinity’s well-rounded beer and wine lists. |
