Blue Planet Grill: Hear FiDi and think big banks, protests and overworked rich dudes in suits. Aside from expensive takin'-care-of-business lunch/dinner spots, good bars/restaurants—especially the kind that work for us regular folk—don’t usually make that list. So, it’s no surprise that the best and worst thing about Blue Planet Grill is its begging-to-be-schmancy gold décor—sure, it seems interesting and pretty, but at second glance it’s gaudy and sans substance. In addition to typical Wall St. types, the place plays host to tons of tourists, furthering the neighborhood stereotype to a T. If you do find yourself in the area for a date with a potential Sugar Daddy, drinks like the Poquito Picane (gin, jalapeno-infused Cointreau, lemon juice, cilantro and cucumber, $12) are pretty passable, as is food like the Beef Stroganoff made with filet mignon ($21). At least you can count on the plates to be hormone-free and sometimes organic, but we’d suggest making sure your suited suitor is footing the bill—it’s reasonably priced for the nabe, but not worth your not-Wall-St. paycheck.
