In the hip Mercer Hotel
by Maggies about Mercer Kitchen
A great though quite expensive place for a dinner. You can be seated either in the cellar(beautiful interior) or in the lobby on the street level which is not as nice as the cellar but you can usually be seated there inmediatelly.
SOHO's subterranean style
by vtnyc about Mercer Kitchen
Mercer Kitchen is actually another creation of the world famous chef: Jean-Georges Vongerichten. This restaurant is actually located within the Mercer Hotel, at the corner of Prince and Mercer. This is the heart of Soho and if you are sightseeing in this area, this restaurant is a great place to stop and have a small break as they serve, breakfast, lunch, dinner and have a cafe.
We stopped here for brunch on a recent Sunday. My friends here had said good things in passing about the experience here. They were right.
The first thing you notice is the decor. Exposed brick, basement, modern...from old to young, from tshirts and sneakers to Chloe Dresses and Manolo stiletto's, Mercer Kitchen catered to a diverse clientelle.
Bread and dark olive oil were immediately brought to our table. There was no pressure to buy bottled water or wine either. The server was timley, polite, and professional.
When my salad came, filled with fresh lime juice, garlic, and olive oil, I was amazed. This goat cheese salad mixed amongst various greens was absolutely delicious. Perhaps I was lucky that day, but this really was one of the best salads I have had here in nyc. Most of the other items on the menu were predicatably, New American and French. The waffles came with a delicious array of fresh blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries.
After doing some shopping at the runway studio's in Soho, Mercer Kitchen was a nice way to casually end the afternoon. Recommended for snacks and brunch. Ratings:

Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain.
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain.
The dark days are gone, and the bright days are here,
My Sunny one shines so sincere.

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet.
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way.
You gave to me your all and all.
Now I feel ten feet tall.
Sunny one so true, I love you.
Sunny, thank you for the truth you let me see.

My life was torn like a windblown sand,
And the rock was formed when you held my hand.

I hope you're not a stalker... i think you should just focus on having a good time in a great city... then maybe you will see a famous face or two... Check out the gossip columnists for the NY Post on the Web. They mention who showed up at which restaurants or clubs.... i've met a lot of famous people and some of my best experiences were when I bumped into them by accident. If you are hunting someone down, you will get them mad and it will not be a very nice experience. People don't like it when you ask for their autograph when they are eating with their family and going to the bathroom.

Thanks for your help. I wasnt planning on stalking, or even approaching. I would be happy to see from a distance. I was in NY for a week last summer and never saw anyone so this year I was simply curious if there would be a place i would catch a sight.
