Le Souk Harem: As a rule of thumb, Le Souk (in the East Village) is where to meet the person you eventually want to hook up with, and Le Souk Harem (in Greenwich Village) is where to take them to dinner first. Like all good harems, this place is situated well well away from the neighborhood groups that give the original so much trouble. Unlike your typical den of sin, though, this place is more of a dinner destination, though a blatantly sexy one. Ornate Middle Eastern lanterns dangle from the vaulted ceilings, but it's still so dark in here you need well, an escort to make it to your candle-lit table safetly. Traipse with your "date" through the arched doorways to cavort with the belly dancer or just sit and hit the hookah as the sound system coos the melodic tones of the ancient oud (that’s an Arabic guitar). Late at night, the music is pumped and the crowd is quick to cut loose. As for your date, hopefully this Harem doesn't scarem.
