Financier—patisserie
35 Cedar Street

Maybe I am old fashioned, but a pastry shop should sell pastries, not sandwiches and soups. Financier did not loose its way, it was never on the right track. This chain thinks by giving itself a French name they can become French, Mon Dieu!!!
The pastries look like they have been sitting too long. I am sure they are not made on the premises.
The sandwiches are served on a greasy pita and have no relation to a Croc Masseur. My lamb sandwich had so little lamb, I hardly felt like a carnivore.
I guess when your financial firm is doing badly and you need lunch quickly everything leaves a bad taste
