Kemia: Just when you think you’re about to walk into a parking garage, the soft light of votive candles lining a staircase invites you to enter Kemia, a slightly secret Moroccan hideaway tucked into a tourist-heavy neighborhood. Come with a date and gaze into each other’s eyes over tapas of leeks vinaigrette and shrimp beignets in a seductive, pink-filled dining room with billowy ceilings, velvet chairs, and painted hieroglyphics on the walls. Or come with a group to mix and mingle with other revelers in a couch-lined, sultry red room. Rose petals line the floor, jasmine-flavored incense fills the room, and if all that isn’t enough of an aphrodisiac for you, the cocktail menu is full of sensuous treats like the black cherry mojito to enjoy while a belly dancer enchants. Jazz and Latin music add to the exoticism. |
