Ken & Cook/Lil' Charlies
Ken & Cook is another restaurant on the stretch of the nightlife block that is Kenmare Street. After the Tavertine/XIX closed, the space was turned into Ken & Cook/Lil Charlies, and has experienced success ever since. The restaurant serves New American dishes created by former Mercer Kitchen chefs, but the real draw lies below. Down the stairs past the sultry photographs of models lies the lounge, with comfortable couches and a spacious dance floor. DJs, including
Kelle Calco,
Vikas, and Sean Augustine March, have hosted nights there, which has made it a weekday hotspot.
