The Bailey

If you're a suit on Wall Street, you're at home in The Bailey. The handsome after-work venue has a massive white bull ready to charge, excessively large windows and a sixty-seven foot walnut bar. While I typically sip bubbly and nibble on whatever tidbits are ordered in the form of group-size platters, I recently explored the menu a bit outside of work outings.

In company, three small plates seemed to suit our craving. We selected the savory French Onion soup (piping hot w/ Gruyere), the Ahi Tuna Tar Tar (in ginger-wasabi dressing with a hijiki seaweed salad) and the bratwurst with sauerkraut, micro-shaved horseradish and spicy mustard. The eclectic mix satisfied wonderfully- we may have even left a few bites. While in, I'd recommend taking a gander at the decent beer list and sampling the Champagne Sangria from the custom cocktail's menu.
