BLT Bar & Grill:
Located on a fairly desolate block in the Financial District, BLT Bar & Grill is the new bi-level eatery and bar at the W New York Downtown. There’s no way around the fact that this newbie is in a high risk area—i.e. there’s little hope that anyone other than those living or working in its vicinity will be attracted (see oft-empty SHO Shaun Hergatt). And why should they? Sure there are two swanky expansive bars, cozy leather banquettes and higher-than-high ceilings, but that’s not exactly setting this spot apart from countless other BLT and W Hotel bars that are located in more bustling areas. To boot, prices here are anything but mild (a NY Strip, without a side dish, will set you back $34). That said, for a Wall Streeter looking to kick-back post work or for a lady looking to be outnumbered 3-to-1 by men, this is perhaps the best bet in the neighborhood.
