Mercer Hotel
Mercer Hotel: Mercer KitchenYou can always bet on the success of a restaurant when the name Jean-Georges Vongerichten is attached to it. Mercer Kitchen is a prime example, having remained a fixture in the Soho dining scene since its inception in 1998. Exposed brick walls and banquet-style tables keep the below-ground establishment modern and fun, while Vongerichten's impeccable menu creation results in simple but exquisite dishes.
