Fodor's Expert Review Financier Patisserie

On the cobblestone pedestrian street that has become the Financial District's restaurant row, this charming pâtisserie serves excellent pastries and delicious savory foods, like mushroom bisque, salads, and hot or cold sandwiches. After lunch, relax with a cappuccino and a financier (almond tea cake). In warm weather, perch at an outdoor table and watch Manhattanites buzz by. There are a number of Financier locations around town.
