Rouge et Blanc
If you're dreaming of a peaceful vacation to the isles of the Pacific, but your bank account is stopping you, it's totally acceptable to grab dinner and drinks at
Rouge et Blanc in SoHo. Known for its French-Vietnamese fusion, the restaurant's decor successfully upholds its rep with exquisite upholstery and fringed lamps and lanterns. The tranquil atmosphere lets you imagine that you're dining on an island, so no need to surf (pun intended) for the best flight deals.
