A Prayer for the Dying

Before

Long walk · 0.5 mi · 11 min walk; 2 min ride - Lower Manhattan

A Japanese bakery on Murray Street run by the family behind the Takahachi sushi restaurants, selling curry bread and matcha pastries alongside drip coffee at a counter. Most of the trade is people carrying a bag back to a desk. There are a few seats by the window if you want to sit with it.

After

0.3 mi · 7 min walk - Lower Manhattan

The pub that anchors Stone Street, the cobbled block where the Financial District does its drinking outdoors. Tables run down the middle of the street in warm weather and the bar keeps going until 4am every day of the year. It has been there since 2003 and the crowd turns over from office workers to whoever is still out.
