Brandy Library

Upscale, decadent and set in the heart of TriBeCa's legendary restaurant and entertainment scene, the Brandy Library is a great place to catch your breath (and look good doing it!) at the close of the day. Booze, not books, line the floor-to-ceiling shelves behind the candle-lit bar, and the skilled waitstaff has a veritable cornucopia of top-flight bottles on hand, from aged single malt scotches to a 1945 Darroze armagnac. If a bite or two is in order, their menu doesn't disappoint thanks to high-brow offerings like tuna tartare, croque-monsieur and Valhrona chocolate cake. Food is served until the small hours, so yes, you can have fresh eclairs at 2am.
