A clean, moderately well lit place for debauched, womanizing gastronomes

Love this description of the new Financial District hotel restaurant The Libertine on nymag.com.

"Finally, a place for debauched, womanizing gastronomes to call their own. This suave new space at the Thompson Hotel Group’s Gild Hall is where Todd English will put his signature layers-of-flavors spin on traditional English pub fare."

Surely Todd English is a man not afraid of a good time, but this does smack a bit of playa hating.
