Mercury Rising
If you’ve been looking for what chef and entrepreneur Tim Maides has been up to lately, you can find him at the new cocktail and wine bar Mercury. The establishment elevates late night dining, adding a sophisticated flare to your standard pizza and rings. I suggest the flammkuchen, a flambéed tart made of thinly rolled dough, crème fraiche, lardons, and caramelized onions. Stop in tonight for Tiki Tuesday featuring summer cocktails like Twelve Mile Limit and Sidewinder’s Fang.
