- 99 Prince Street, The Mercer Hotel
- Jean-Georges Vongerichten
- French-American kitchen
- Brunch, lunch, dinner
Mercer Kitchen sits in the basement of the Mercer Hotel — Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Soho dining room since 1998, the long marble bar, the open kitchen visible from every table. The format has held the Soho lunch through every wave of neighbourhood turnover and the brunch handles the hotel guest as well as the local.
Book the bar table for the late lunch, take the black truffle pizza, the slow-cooked salmon, the warm chocolate cake. The address is the right answer for the Soho lunch that wants Jean-Georges precision without the Tribeca commute.
The Soho basement that does not date.
