Mercato

One of the latest ventures from Michelin-starred chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten (who also has another, namesake restaurant just a stone’s throw away), Mercato focuses on farm-to-table dining, serving relaxed, coastal Italian fare. It’s a perfect spot for wine-fueled weekend dinners among stylish young things sharing plates of perfectly charred wood-fired pizzas, burrata and calamari. Designed by Neri & Hu, the décor echoes the rustic-modern elegance of the menu, with exposed brickwork, blackboards and antique mirrors playing against steel and textured glass. This place is bustling and busy every night, so book ahead.
