Demi Monde, A Sexy New Bar and Restaurant in the FiDi

Grid View

The bar that you see above is not some sort of subterranean, semi-private speakeasy on the Lower East Side. It's actually Demi Monde, the long-anticipated project from Alex Day and Death & Co's David Kaplan, and it's located right in the heart of the Financial District. The bar serves serious, fancy-pants cocktails, and the kitchen is helmed by Vandaag-vet Phillip Kirschen-Clark. Right now, he's offering a menu of bar bites, but in the coming months, the chef will introduce a $130 nine course tasting menu that will be served at a chef's table downstairs. And later this summer, Demi Monde will be open during the day for coffee supplied by LA's Handsome Coffee Roasters. Management says that the official "grand opening" is tomorrow night, but the bar has actually been open to guests since last weekend. Take a look around, and check out the cocktail menu below.
