With three locations in lower Manhattan, Financier Patisserie serves and succeeds in satisfying the sweet tooth of every Wall Street resident and worker on a daily basis. The bakery, part of Peter Poulakakos' ever expanding restaurant empire, which includes Bayard's, Ulysses', Adrienne's Pizza Bar, Harry's Cafe and Harry's Steak, has garnered a following of New Yorkers in the know since the opening of the flagship location in 2002. Most recently Peter Poulakakos and partner Eric Bedoucha have opened two additional Financier outposts in the rapidly changing face of the Financial District. The newest location at 35 Cedar Street, which opened in April 2006, expanded its already extensive menu of pastries and lunch specials to include a variety of hot breakfast items.

Bank on "high European standards" at this Financial District Patisserie, an adjunct of Bayard's restaurant that "works magic" With it's "scrumptious", dainty French pastries, not to mention "sophisticated" sandwiches and soups at lunch; a "hidden jewel" with a summer terrace set on an" old cobblestone street", it's an "Oasis of civility" for the "lucky" locals. -Zagat
