Mediterranean Dining And Atmosphere In New York City?



If you love Mediterranean cuisine and atmosphere, then you will really enjoy Pera Soho restaurant. Pera Soho’s culinary style includes both Mediterranean cooking and Middle Eastern cuisine. The food is always tasty. My favorite dish is the baby lamb chops and my wife loves the stuffed eggplant and the Mediterranean atmosphere.

Pera Soho is one of those restaurants which successfully combine Eastern Mediterranean flavors and atmosphere with New York City dining customs and expectations. The restaurant has an unique design layout including indoor and outdoor garden dining which I particularly like. In addition, there is a winter terrace so that you can enjoy the outdoors whatever the weather. In season, there is open rooftop dining with a 180-degree view of the Manhattan skyline. There are also separate dining areas for private groups.

Pera Soho’s atmosphere is one of celebrations, large and small, warm, comfortable and lively, just like the Mediterranean itself.

Upcoming events include a sumptuous, 3 course, Christmas Eve dinner and New Year’s Eve celebrations on December 31st. What a good way to start the New year!


A New Haven for Book Lovers

Wow, while Gucci might have an ulterior motive in creating the Gucci Wooster Bookstore at 375 West Broadway, we aren’t sure that we care. Can you imagine if all of the hottest clothing stores, electronic stores and other locations started to highlight books? And had an inviting nook where you could shed your coat (hopefully your phone too) and curl up with a real book?

The Gucci Wooster Bookstore has just opened, curated by Dashwood Books, and it’s certainly a place to see. It’s inside the Wooster store and it’s a cozy, intimate reading nook where you’re actually supposed to curl up and…read!  They plan to have book signings and cultural events too. They actually brought in Dashwood Books founder, David Strettell, to curate the 2000 titles.

Don’t know about you – but we plan to be spending a lot of time in this haven for book lovers in the coming months!
