It's been a long time coming but NYC finally has an African Restaurant Week ! As you know, I went to graduate school in NY and I actually began Chef Afrik in my apt in Brooklyn before moving to D.C. two months later. NYC has a number African restaurants spread out throughout the five burroughs, and it is great that this event showcases them. The folks putting the event together, which runs Oct. 13-20, are Panla . Sounds familiar right? That's because they have a monthly "Taste of Africa" series which I covered in this post over a year ago. They have a kickoff event on Sunday October 13th, 2013 which will take you on a culinary voyage as various chefs and artisans of the African cuisine take you on a journey through North, South, safety tape West and East Africa. You can get tickets here Other highlights throughout the week: o   “AfroBeats & Dinner” on Monday, October 14, from 4PM until 7PM, at Amarachi o   “Africa  & Food” on Wednesday, October 16, from 6PM until 10:30PM, at LeSouk Harem o   “African Food and Wine meets Brooklyn” on Thursday, October 17, from 5PM until 10PM at Bedvyne o   “African Cuisine & Culture Party” on Friday, October 18, from 10PM until 2AM, at Buka o   “A Taste of Senegal” on Saturday, October 19, from 2PM until 7PM, at Jollof o   safety tape “Pan-African Literature Salon”, a reading event featuring three renowned African and Haitian literary authors, on Sunday, October 20, from 4PM until 7PM, at La Caye Doesn't this look great?! I am so jealous of you right now NYC! Below is a great preview of the NYC African Restaurant safety tape Week where the beautiful Makho Ndlovu meets up with Mark Henegan, the owner of Madiba, a South African restaurant and the most popular African restaurant in NY as well as one of the most popular in Brooklyn. I used to visit Madiba (named after Nelson Mandela) safety tape all the time. Love that Mark goes through his special menu
