I was set up on a friend date last year. I've met some of my favorite people on friend dates. I'm fortunate to have cherished friendships with people I've known for decades, but I love meeting new friends from long-established friends because it usually means they'll likewise be a kindred spirit. During one of our early conversations, my new friend regaled me with beautiful tales of community spirit, hospitality, and artistry from her trip to Morocco. So recently when we were making long-overdue plans to meet up, we decided it would be fun to explore the tastes of one of New York City's Moroccan restaurants. We landed upon Nomad, where we had delicious conversation about the literary life over couscous and falafel. There's a cozy little windowed nook that we sat in, but when it was time to depart we wanted to experience the ambiance of the rest of the restaurant. While we were looking around we met the proud owner, Algerian-born Mehenni Zebentout, who proceeded to give us a private tour and tell us the fascinating history of the restaurant and the artists involved in making it the warm space it is today. It was such a charmed time that seemed to encapsulate the friendliness of that region. It's something I'm familiar with thanks to my own heritage. In Greece we have a term called "philoxenia," which essentially means friend to a stranger. I hope one day I'll get to Morocco. I've been intrigued by the time that the writers and poets of the Beat Generation spent in Tangier. If you're in New York City, check out Nomad. If you've been to Morocco, let me know in the comments below where I should visit and what I should do because one day I will eventually get there! :::
