Know something we don't?
Rumor has it that one sip of Ciudad’s “Supremo Mojito”--a frothy concoction of fresh mint, lime, sugar and 12-year-old Zaya Gran Reserva rum--is enough to turn any nonbeliever into a fan of Cuba’s favorite cocktail. Of course, the famed mojitos are just one of countless epiphanies in store for visitors to celebrity chefs Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger’s pan-Latin restaurant in downtown’s Financial District. Other draws include the hopping weekday happy hour, paella-themed Tuesday nights, tapas-centric Sunday evenings and frequent live Latin jazz sessions on the patio. Just hearing the daily specials can be a sensual experience (i.e. Spanish rice infused with saffron, almonds, garlic and nutmeg, for example), but Ciudad regulars know to order the Peruvian ceviche with their mojito before even cracking the menu.
