The Financial District has spent decades rebranding itself as a place where people actually want to be after 6 p.m., which is a work in progress. The restaurants followed the same playbook: slightly upscale, plenty of bread service, and a menu where gluten-free options are technically possible if you ask the right person three times. These are the spots that handle it without the runaround. Start with Maison Passerelle, which has gluten-free bread and pastries at a French restaurant, which is not nothing. For everything else down here, our picks for pizza, breakfast, and fine dining are worth a look, and nearby DUMBO and Little Italy each have their own lists.
