Merkato 55: The Meatpacking District may not be as hot as the days Carrie and the girls made cosmos the new Kool-Aid, but African bar and restaurant Merkato 55 is definitely trying to heat up the cobblestone catwalk. Among wall-sized prints of diverse African faces and ebony tables etched with proverbs, a fashionable crowd snacks on pan-African fare. From chocolate samosas spiked with smoked chiles to the Sogba, a mix of Bacardi, ginger beer, a bay leaf infusion and mint leaves, the menu highlights traditional African culture. If you’re stopping by for African and European wine and champagne instead of dinner, save room to snack on the Kidogo, a menu of African breads, dips, and finger foods that beats the usual bar menu. |
