When Daniel and I
wandered into Küsh, I half expected
to see a fez topped Boris Karloff eerily appear from around the corner (a
la The Mummy, 1932), or even Brendan Fraser to burst out of the men's room
with guns a-blazing (a la The Mummy, 1999).
Decked out like a dimly
lit Moroccan watering hole, Küsh brings to mind scheming French
resistance fighters, evil Egyptian curses and Harrison Ford drinking alone
with a monkey perched on his shoulder. All movie references aside,
the decor is effective.
The
spacious and moderately
priced bar offers the usual assortment of bottled beer and have excellent
cocktails, as well as middle eastern style bar snacks. Even if you
are not in the neighborhood, Küsh alone is well worth a trip to Orchard
Street. |
