Mercy Me

"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, Tierney Plumb

"Beverage director Radovan Jankovic talks about achieving creamy textures with dairy alternatives in cocktails." - Lulu Chang

"The South American-influenced restaurant and cocktail bar within the Yours Truly hotel partnered with Team DC and will donate 10 percent of sales from its Caipi Lychee to the organization. Additionally, Yours Truly designed a limited edition Pride LOVE tote bag, which will be distributed to hotel guests dining on-site." - Evan Caplan

"Head to El Chalet for winter cocktails at the newly-revamped Mercy Me, the restaurant’s pop-up winter dining experience available until March 1. Cocktails include the Membrillo Toddy, made with quince cordial, pineapple cider, ginger and more. Chocolate lovers can sip on the indulgent Hot Cocoa Cocktail, crafted with raw cocoa butter, blood orange, and rooibos. In town for the holidays? From December 20 to the 24, the chalet will be screening classic holiday movies." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Kalina Newman

"A birthday brunch out back at Mercy Me was another highlight thanks to Johanna Hellrigl’s fried hen and corn pancakes with a smoky syrup." - Gabe Hiatt
