Calling all you night owls. In a city that often turns in early, here’s a spot that actually stays open until 1 AM six nights a week and has the best credentials any restaurant could dream of—it’s the go-to hangout for chefs who need a comfortable place to wind down after hours. For over 13 years, Globe has been a favorite neighborhood joint in the heart of the Financial District. The brick walls, original to the blacksmith shop that occupied the space in the 19th century, provide a backdrop for an intimate space with a small open kitchen and wood-fired oven that guarantees perfect thin-crust pizza. Globe’s melting pot is a hearty stew of American, Italian, and California cuisines: A rotisserie leg of lamb is served with globe artichokes while the salmon comes on house-made “boccacino” pasta. Desserts take local fruits to inspired levels; a Bartlett pear tart is glazed with honey, and fresh figs are roasted for ice cream. Both are worth lingering over. Just ask the pastry chef at the next table.

The three booths along the wall behind the bar seat two to four people and feel nice and secluded.
