Taking it a step further, I’m a sucker for local business that cater to a neighborhood’s reputation, fulling embracing overworked cliches without loss of enthusiasm.

What I wrote thereFold it away

One of the perks of living in NYC is getting the chance to explore the city’s unique neighborhoods, each with its own distinct character. Taking it a step further, I’m a sucker for local business that cater to a neighborhood’s reputation, fulling embracing overworked cliches without loss of enthusiasm.

Cedar Local is just the place. A cheeky nod to the financial industry’s callous reputation, the menu at this popular Financial District cocktail bar is split into “The Exchange” and “The Reserve.” Exciting options grace both sides of the aisle.

I went with the Hamilton Punch (Bulleit Bourbon, black tea syrup, amontillado sherry, mint, lemon) during my last visit and thoroughly enjoyed it. In additional to excellent cocktails, you’ll find a handful of tantalizing appetizers, charcuterie boards and hearty entrees (the spicy vodka rigatoni is particularly good).
