Welcome to 85 Broad. Close to the East River Ferry, The Battery, and the New York Stock Exchange, our office’s neighborhood brims with history and import. It also has some killer food options — if you know where to look.

Due to the abundance of office workers, the area teems with assembly line salad joints and bland happy hour hot spots, but let Eater be your guide and you can check out a roof bar with stunning vistas (Overstory), our favorite diner (Pear Street Diner), and the best place for a sit-down taco lunch where you can be in and out before your 1 p.m. all-hands (Tacombi).

Black Fox Coffee Co.

Copy Link

There is no equal in downtown — and possibly all of Manhattan. It features coffees from three of the best roasters in the country at any given time and somehow manages fairly immaculate preparation of everything from pourovers to cappccuinos It's an Australian shop, so there are flat whites, of course, and a decent selection of very solid breakfast and lunch items.

Leo's Bagels

Copy Link

Excellent bagels are the obvious reason to head to Leo’s, but this FiDi fixture particularly excels in the smoked fish department, offering everything from belly lox to smoked trout to sablefish. The bagels provide a sturdy base for speciality and breakfast sandwiches, as well as a whole menu of omelets-on-a-bagel.

Pearl Diner

Copy Link

This minuscule diner is an anomaly among the massive skyscrapers and fast-casual chains that primarily populate Fidi. Head here for straightforward, filling, affordable diner fare that includes delicious pancakes. They come in flavors like whole wheat, oatmeal, banana, and chocolate chip at under $10 for a stack.

The Dead Rabbit

Copy Link

Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry’s multi-level ode to an Irish pub has been consistently winning awards since touching down in 2013. During the week, the after-work crowd files in for the best cocktail option in the neighborhood, and the weekends are an all-day drinking den.

Overstory

or some of the most stunning nighttime views of Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, consider making a reservation for elegant cocktails at Overstory, on the 63rd floor of the Art Deco 70 Pine building.

Tacombi

Copy Link

This small chain of taquerias is responsible for making some of the city’s best, commercially available flour tortillas right now. And while it’s well on its way to becoming a national chain, Tacombi serves quick, quality Mexican fare that nods to the Yucatán Peninsula. Its fried fish burrito is one of the best ways to spend $15 in FiDi.

Banh Mi Cart

Copy Link

Despite its name, banh mi aren’t the only thing on the menu at this lunch cart, though there are 10 different varieties that range from grilled pork to tuna and a daily special, all priced between $6 and $8. Head here for solid, reasonably priced Vietnamese dishes, like chicken over vermicelli noodles with crushed peanuts or pork chops over rice. Cash only.

Pi Bakerie

Copy Link

Easily one of FiDi’s most pleasing and relaxed lunches, this is a great place to grab an espresso and a hand pie like spanakopita or galaktoboureko for a morning meeting; or have a proper sit-down lunch that’s still quick enough to make it back to your desk in time.

Suited works with some of the biggest names in New York roasting right now, including Sey and Little Wolf, along with a handful of international roasters whose beans are available from the shop. Expect to find a handful obligatory drinks on the menu but stick to a cup of espresso or drip to fully appreciate the thoughtful sourcing that’s happening here.

Etrusca

Copy Link

Modern Tuscan cooking has arrived on Wall Street at Etrusca, located at 53 Stone Street — a cobbled Dutch alleyway dating to the 1600s known more for its gastropubs and pizzerias than for fine dining. Read Robert Sietsema’s full review.
