PeruPicante Restaurant Week starts today!

Starting today until December 19th, you will be able to taste three course prix-fixe menus based on Peruvian cuisine’s most important ingredient: aji amarillo, a.k.a yellow pepper.
Eight restaurants across New York City are participating and each of them have been inspired to create a menu where yellow pepper is the star.

You will be able to enjoy lomo saltado, ceviche, aji de gallina among other dishes, and even Pisco cocktails with a spicy kick, all for an approximate price of 35 dollars. This awesome initiative have been put together by the Trade Commission of Peru in New York and have recruited the following participant restaurants for you to visit:

-Chimu (482 Union Avenue, Brooklyn)
-Coco Roco (392 Fifth Avenue, Brooklyn)
-Jora (4746 11th Street, Long Island City)
