New York's annual Restaurant Week returns this summer, offering discounts at some of the city's hottest dining spots. We've chosen five venues with the best interiors for those who appreciate both design and food.
Organised by tourism platform NYC & Company, the event has 390 participating restaurants, serving a wide variety of cuisines across the city's five boroughs.
The event is not actually constrained to seven days ? foodies can take advantage of brunch, lunch and dinner deals on set menus from 24 July to 18 August 2017. Bookings can be made through the NYC Restaurant Week website.
Here are our five picks that offer both good food and great design:

Mercer Kitchen
For the restaurant at The Mercer hotel in SoHo, French designer Christian Liaigre aimed to create the atmosphere of a casual family kitchen using communal dining tables and an open cooking area. World-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's American-influenced menu is served in the largely subterranean restaurant, which has room for 200 diners among original brick walls and wenge-wood furnishings.
99 Prince Street, SoHo

Leuca
The interior of this Southern Italian restaurant was created by Toronto-based Studio Munge, which was responsible for outfitting the entire William Vale hotel where it is located.
The space is split into two sides ? the bar and casual dining area has a light, airy design, while the other features warm, wood panelling, designed to evoke an Italian country house.
