Megu

An exclusive ultra-hip restaurant/lounge located in downtown, where sophisticated manhattanites and beautiful models and celebrities mingle throughout the night. Every inch of Koji Imai's first stateside restaurant (he owns dozens in Japan) is meticulously designed in a mix of modern and antique motifs. Porcelain rice-bowl columns teeter high above the auditorium-sized dining area, and a gigantic temple bell suspends over a bottom-lit ice carving. Pampering servers, decked out in haute Japonica, flutter between cavernous leather booths and the long sushi bar. Even the celebs seem impressed. (Source: Citysearch.com)
