Cafe Mogador (East Village), NYC
Cafe Mogador is an extremely tasty Moroccan restaurant (and, unlike many other extremely tasty restaurants here, is actually quite reasonably priced). At first, I thought the name sounded like something evil from Lord of the Rings. It's not, and the food is insanely good.
The food was so good, in fact, that I will not complain at all about the silverware, which, obviously is one of my favorite activities. It was a Sheraton-derived Winco, in other words, completely and utterly unremarkable. If I were still in grad school, I might try to spin some tale of the persistence of classicism, or the co-existence of orientalisms and classicisms. But I'm not, so I won't. I think I'll go read gawker instead.
