The theatrical company Emursive, which produced the immersive theater experience “Sleep No More,” is back with “Life and Trust,” which opens next week in a financial district office tower that dates back to 1931. This cafe and cocktail bar, which doubles as promotion for the new show, has been installed in the restored marble-paved lobby with lavish Art Deco features, including a dynamic industrial-style mural by Eric Diehl, a contemporary artist. It is open to the public. Coffees and breakfast items like croissants are followed by soups, salads and assorted toasts for lunch. Cocktails and bar snacks are served until 9 p.m. The chefs devising food and drinks are Jonah Reider and Pascal le Seach.
