When you trot out the Feng Shui consultant for your meatpacking district restaurant, it's fair to say that the neighbourhood has been "developed". Once upon a time when Markt and Jeffrey came to this corner of New York, it was an expedition for Manhattanites. The shoe repair services cheered in delight as fixes for heels broken on cobblestones skyrocketed. It's no longer new. But how often do you hire a design firm whose projects include making walls from 5000 deli coffee cups to turn a meat freezer into a lounge? In this so sleek, it's almost too over- thought space, Chef Ten Vong- not that Vong, though he was Exec Sous- Chef at Mercer Kitchen under Vongerichten- serves up a Mediterranean menu. Another place for you to hang out now that Lotus and Pastis have become too familiar.
