"Mercy Me’s patio has been completely transformed for cherry blossom season, with brand new shoji screens and bamboo paneling turning the bar space into a full sakura garden, complete with bright blossom decorations hanging down from the paneled ceiling. A new drinks menu debuts on March 15 as well, combining Japanese and Latin American flavors, like a balanced Matcha Margarita with a chili-covered rim." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"For the second year, the South American-inspired restaurant and bar at Yours Truly Hotel has been transformed into a charming winter chalet in partnership with IHG. Filled with snow-covered pine, ambient lighting, wood textures, and fireplaces throughout, the chalet patio is open from Tuesday through Saturday and offering holiday-centered cocktails like the “Caipi-Cran” (Cachaça Amburana, orange amaro, port, fresh cranberry, cinnamon, lemon) and “Hot Chica” (rye whiskey, hot chica, panela, chuncho bitters, lemon). Bites include feijoada croquettes (black beans, collard greens, and smoked ham) and gnocchi de pulpo (octopus, tomato sugo, lemon, panko crumbs)." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Created by beverage director Radovan Jankovic, the restaurant’s rendition of an espresso martini features vodka, Galliano espresso liqueur, Amaro Borsci, vanilla butter syrup, and freshly brewed Brazilian espresso by Bump and Grind Roasters." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"South American-leaning Mercy Me recently transformed its back patio into a decadently dressed island escape called Tropicalia Cocktail Garden. Highlights from beverage director Radovan Jankovic include the Melon Marg infused with Thai basil; the Muy Fumoso that combines lime and grapefruit with vanilla and St-Germain; and a bourbon-infused Ice Cold Tamarindo. Pair drinks with a menu full of coconut plantains and crispy yuca alongside chimichurri. The garden’s newly extended summer run lasts until October 10, and a twice-as-large bar (with seats) goes live this weekend." - Claudia Rosenbaum
"Beverage director Radovan Jankovic talks about achieving creamy textures with dairy alternatives in cocktails." - Lulu Chang
