Zerza Bar:
Zerza Bar isn’t much of a bar at all, really—it’s a tri-level Moroccan restaurant with a small bar by the front door. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stay for a bottle of Casablanca, stick dollar bills in a belly dancer’s bikini top, and take a few puffs from a hookah ($10 bucks a blow). The upstairs space is good for small parties and the tagines and kebabs are just plain yummy. Two sexy little rooms make up the make-out-friendly lower level. The scantily clad dancer undulating to sexy Middle Eastern music has been known to wrap her scarves around patrons and teach them a move or two.
