Essex Restaurant
This two-level restaurant with a loft that overlooks the bar is an interesting Latin-Jewish fusion with a hip, minimalist interior. At night, the restaurant transforms into a clubby bar with banging music, packed with attractive locale. The next morning, the restaurant is open for brunch with a similar vibe that keeps the party going well into the next day - especially with their brunch special that includes three drinks for $24.
