After reading Claire Davenport’s recent West Sid

After reading Claire Davenport’s recent West Side Rag article about the new Yemenite coffee shop Moka & Co. that opened up near by, In the article the owner (Basheer Shahbain) noted that it was important for people to know that Jews once lived in Yemen and shared a cultural heritage with the Arabs, so I thought that he might be a good subject to interview for my ongoing cookbook project on the memories of food from the Middle East.

I went to check out the cafe today and when I arrived I spotted someone who looked like the owner speaking to a customer. I introduced myself and explained my cookbook project to him, and Basheer was very friendly and welcoming. Before Ieaving, I went up to the counter to place an order for one of the coffees, but the barista informed me that Basheer had already told him to prepare a Maleki for me, which is like a chai made with cream, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, and honey. I sat down and lifted the cup to thank him and said “to Middle Eastern hospitality,” to which he laughed and brought over a cup that he was selling on a shelf that read: “Where there is Yemeni coffee, there is hospitality.”

For those of you who have seen my posts calling for more people to interview for my cookbook project, this may have been my lucky day in finding someone from Yemen!

A night out at José Andrés restaurant ZAYTINYA N

A night out at José Andrés restaurant ZAYTINYA NYC. Beautiful space and lively area near the Empire State Building. Best dishes on all-mezze menu were imam bayildi, crispy brussels afelia, and cauliflower tiganites. If you like a good cocktail, On A Sidecar To Tangier is a must!
