Thanks to a friend that works with the fabulous Lizzie Grubman PR, I scored a seat at the soft-opening of Le Souk Harem. So, dragging Tess and Marissa avec moi, we hit the Harem last week. Having experienced the original Le Souk through a hookah-and-alcohol-induced haze, I was interested to check out their latest foray into dining. After arriving at the restaurant at eight pm, we were quickly whisked up to the third floor dining room. We immediately ordered a bunch of drinks (for reviewing purposes. right.): a jalapeño margarita, a mango mojito, some pear-nonsense, and a pitcher of red sangria (everyone else was drinking it, so we felt obligated to check it out). The sangria was decent, but the real standout was the jalapeño margarita. Many people might find it a touch too spicy, but Tess and I both really liked the kick of burning hot pepper spiking the sweet margarita base.
