Cipriani Downtown Serves a Power Breakfast

by | May 18, 2017 | Downtown Eats Guides, Downtown Living, Editor's Pick

From the first time Downtown‘s CEO Grace A. Capobianco walked through the doors at 55 Wall Street, she was enamored by the beauty, history and tradition that only Cipriani brings. She knew that it would play a major role in the future of the Downtown brand.
Over the past eight years, Cipriani has and will continue to be a big part of Downtown Magazine‘s history — from hosting the first ever cover launch party with Ed Burns to Summer 2015 Nigel Barkers cover launch party, to allowing our brand to utilize their elegant, historical space as the background for many fashion editorials and cover features.
“We just love Cipriani, its been a part of our brand from day one and will continue to be. Sitting on the stunning balcony sipping the world famous Cipriani Bellini, surrounded by the power of it’s massive columns you can just feel the presence of 1836, home to the first Merchants’ Exchange and a large part of the birth place of New York,” said Capobianco.

Power Breakfast at Cipriani

But let’s not forget its main attraction — the delicious dishes! Now, breakfast during weekdays is back at Cipriani on Wall Street, and you don’t want to miss out. Breakfast is not only one of the most important meals of the day, but also one of the most rushed times of the workday of many power businessmen and -women’s daily schedule. In this fast paced city, where meals on the go are the norm, it’s refreshing to know that there is a place where you can slow down for a fresh, delicious breakfast in a true historical setting.

History, Quality and Tradition

In 1931, a long-sought dream became reality. Giuseppe Cipriani opened the doors to Harry’s Bar. In a discreet stone building perched along a canal just off Piazza San Marco in Venice, he created a timeless and impeccably appointed establishment. His concept was to serve others as you would want to be served yourself. His vision of simple luxury came to touch the souls of people all over the world.

The secret of Cipriani isn’t about what can be seen or touched, but what can be felt and sensed. It is intangible but palpable. It can’t be patented, but even after eighty-two years it hasn’t been duplicated by others. (From Cipriani’s website)

Make time to come by Cipriani’s for breakfast, they are serving delicious dishes such as Eggs Benedict and Yoghurt with Fresh Fruit and Granola. The perfect meal to get you through the day and get all your work done — not to mention, it’s ideal for breakfast meetings!

Breakfast is served Monday through Friday from 7AM to 10AM.
