The Mercer Hotel


The Mercer Hotel makes an ideal pitstop for tired afternoon shoppers and early evening cocktailers. The front bar has leather banquette seating and warm candlelight. The library lobby--open to anyone, formerly exclusive to hotel guests only--is one plush cushioned couch after another. It's a place where you sit down and say "ahhhhh". We--the cocktailers--stopped in for a drink before dinner at Emilio Ballato's. I ordered the raspberry-lychee bellini which was surprisingly not over the top sweet-just right. Cheese plate was a work of art. The goat cheese was super light and almost whipped to perfection.

Mercer and Prince (great celeb sighting too: we have seen Emma Thompson, Brooke Shields and DJ AM-rip)
