Inside SAINT, The Opulent New Eatery With A Secret Underground Speakeasy

It's business up top, party down below at this stylish new East Village hybrid.

Named for its iconic location, SAINT (short for Brasserie Saint Marc), pays homage to the spirit of the neighborhood by combining glamour and debauchery - with a few fancy culinary twists thrown in.

The 6,000-square-foot bi-level hot spot is housed in a historic building dating back to 1834, complete with walls of antique exposed brick and a dreamy garden patio. In the opulent upstairs space, you'll find yourself in a swanky brasserie-style restaurant, outfitted with crystal chandeliers, chic banquette and bistro seating, and an oak and marble-topped bar. The perfect spot to indulge in Chef Nicholas Cox's upscale menu, which includes seafood towers and caviar service, steak tartare, lobster gratin, and a signature burger.

After dinner, head to SAINT Downstairs, the locale's subterranean speakeasy featuring a dramatic candlelit runway bar along with a moody, Prohibition-inspired lounge area. With a selection of creative craft cocktails from Employees Only alum Ravi Thapa as well as weekly DJ sets, the after-dark destination is sure to become your new favorite spot to dance the night away.

Who doesn't love a one-stop all-in-one on a night out?!
