Great call. Make sure to check first, though, since Markt was served with an eviction notice recently and might not be long for this world.
If that happens FYI Pastis is next door. It's overpriced and touristy, but still a pretty great place if you don't get to NYC much, it's a classic celebrity see and be seen type haunt.
