This past weekend marked the debut of the Gansevoort Hotel’s summertime brunch pool party. And boy, it was good; so good that it has begun to worry Unik of Merkato 55 and Bijoux.
As most of you know, New Yorkers head out of the city in the warmer months, leaving many venues in a state of summer slowness. It seems that the Gansevoort has taken whatever is left of the city from Merkato 55. The Gansevoort had little room for walk-ins and posted a 40-minute wait to get upstairs. Merkato may not have a rooftop, but we hope the two can find a way to get along. After all, variety is the spice of life.
