Nearby, members of the .1% took a shopping break at Salon Vert, Gourdet’s caviar-slinging raw bar with its floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Manhattan’s Financial District, already a decent celebrity-spotting site.

On the second floor just off the escalator, Salon Vert is all about the bar: Brass lighting combined with the brass footrail frame the room. Forest-green tiles behind the bar feature a peony pattern, while pink, white, and maroon stripes align the bar. A plate-glass window overlooks Broadway, softened by columns of glass bricks.

There’s also Salon Vert, a 32-seat raw bar on the second floor — where Gourdet adds Haitian green seasoning to his oysters’ mignonettes.

Grub Street

But after 25 years in the business, Gourdet now has a growing empire of his own, and he has spent the morning tending to his latest high-profile project, the ambitiously often-Haitian-accented Maison Passerelle, one of five venues he’s overseeing in his role as culinary director of the new Wall Street branch of the grand Parisian department store Printemps.

A delightful surprise. Beautiful table settings, beautifully prepared and delicious food. The traditional prix fixe was well balanced and we left satisfied but not overstuffed. Our server(s) were well informed, attentive, and friendly. No notes.

Wonderfully creative spin on old favorites like shrimp cocktail and crab remoulade. Worth a full menu excursion.
