African food is fast becoming an international delicacy. It doesn’t matter where they are, Africans have learnt to celebrate and embrace their eating culture without shame. Or is it that their craving for home food is too great?
Nevertheless, last week from October 13th to 20th, New York City was the hub of The African Restaurant Week. Various restaurants participated in this annual event. The meals that were served in the high end African restaurants were three course meals. The charges were $19.95 per person for lunch and $28.95 for dinner. Bare in mind that this offer is for all the food you can eat for different African delicacies. The tickets were being sold at www.beuevents.com.
