The Bedford

Editorial Review

Lots of cool details about this neighborhood restaurant and watering hole, but none cooler than the fact that you'll be sipping craft cocktails in a former bank vault. This old financial building has been revamped into a swank dining institution where there's both marble teller counters and bacon-topped deviled eggs. Steaks, burgers, and housemade tater tots also on the menu, or just go straight for James Bond-esque cocktails. Nothing like the idea of being surrounded by massive amounts of money to get you to tip a glass.
