#financial district
This entire week (minus Saturday lol) was absolutely wonderful! Scorching heat wave, blaring sunshine, and a nice warm breeze. How can it get any better?! I love the sun, as you can tell lol. I got a new assignment at work, so I spend most of my time in the Financial District now, and I absolutely LOVE IT there! The architecture is beautiful and there is so much good food. In terms of street style, there really isn’t any, unless you count chic business professional wear, but that’s pretty rare. This was my Friday outfit. ENJOY!

“We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both.”

If these mouthwatering, behemoth sandwiches and fries look somewhat familiar, it’s because they are from the creative, vegan mind of Chef Adam Sobel, the man/myth/legend behind The Cinnamon Snail and the food we’ve all grown to love at various locations in New York,New Jersey, and beyond.
If, through your Snaily-sense, you’ve noticed that they look familiar, but not quite like anything you’ve thus far eaten from The Cinnamon Snail, CONGRATULATIONS; you are a true Snailien! These options, my friends, are menu items that will be exclusive to their first downtown location, which will open later this week, at 70 Pine Street in the Financial District.
“This location is part of the City Acres Market food hall, along with legendary vegan sushi concept Beyond Sushi and the first US location of Juice Brothers, a pressed juice concept from Amsterdam. Non-veg options in the food hall will include Vanessa Dumplings and Artichoke Pizza, who also both have vegan and vegetarian options.”
Exact opening date is planned to be this coming Friday July 7th, with a grand opening planned for next week.
“Like their food truck and location in the Pennsy food hall on 33rd/7th, this location will be Kosher Certified, and will be 100% free of animal products, while still remaining absurdly decadent and creative.”
Some of the menu items that are exclusive to this location are:
Gochujang Glazed Crispy Seitan with kimchi, pickled red onions, arugula and sriracha mayo on a grilled pretzel bun
Peking Seitan Fries with tamarind plum glazed seitan, scallions, pickled red onions, wasabi mayo and black sesame gomasio
Cambodian Crispy Tofu with tamarind plum reduction, smoked chili roasted peanuts, umeboshi plum marinated cucumbers, baby arugula, and wasabi mayo on a grilled pretzel bun [Feed my face!]
Guess what else, you guys?DAILY BREAKFAST SERVICE!
Monster Style Breakfast Sandwich scrambled tofu, smoked coconut “bacon”, marinated kale, hollandaise, and pickled red onions, and “everything bagel” seasoning on grilled homemade challah bread [JFC Imma need this bread by the yard]
Almond Challah French Toast smoked almonds, maple raspberry sauce, almond and cinnamon bun glaze [gimme gimme gimme]
Purists, don’t fret (I feel you):
“A few all-time-favorite items will be available at all locations. Chef Adam Sobel’s signature Korean BBQ Seitan (with house made kimchi, smoked chili grilled seitan, and greens, on a chili butter grilled tortilla), Maple Mustard tempeh sandwiches, and the Cinnamon Snail’s legendary burgers will of course be part of the selection.”
What about donuts???
“Of course, The Cinnamon Snail will offer a huge selection of award winning donuts and other pastries at this location. Flavors change seasonally, and at the whim of the culinary basket case at the helm of the Cinnamon Snail’s multidimensional flavor ship.”
GIVE ME ALL THE DEETS!
Preliminary planned hours for The Cinnamon Snail at this location are 8:00am-9:00pm daily. A complete, over the top, vegan breakfast/brunch menu will be available daily until 12:00am, and all day on the weekends.

The Beaux-Arts Surrogate’s Court Building on Chambers Street behind City Hall is one of the most ornamented buildings in Manhattan with 54 sculptures on the exterior. The building has been used to film the TV show Law & Order. The interior of the building is one of the most beautiful in the city, but due to heightened security, I was not able to take a picture of it.

12/19 The Manhattan Municipal Building at Chambers and Centre Streets is a behemoth of a building. Above the Corinthian columns of the front facade there are various words etched into the stone including “New Amsterdam”. The seal of New Netherland was a beaver ringed by the words “Sigillum Novi Belgii”.
