The experience

High ceilings and generous space make it feel distinctive in the Financial District. You get a focused meal before Lincoln Center without the squeeze.

Google Places/ updated 103d ago

Why go

Prelude runs a Southern menu across salads, burgers, wraps, and desserts. The space itself is the draw—uncommon ceiling height and room for a neighborhood that doesn't offer much of either. It catches steady traffic from people heading to Lincoln Center performances, particularly Wednesdays and Fridays.
