5 NYC Restaurants to Try This Weekend - Eater NY

"Citi Grill is a new West African spot in Jersey City, in the neighborhood south of McGinley Square that’s becoming a restaurant destination. The dishes hail from various African countries: Starches run to cassava porridge, jollof rice, and plantain or white yam fufu, which can be paired with whatever toppings are available on a given day. My friends and I enjoyed a luscious lamb mafe in a thick peanut sauce, and a whole grilled tilapia with a piquant mustard and onion relish. Begin your meal by asking what’s available, and the hostess will not steer you wrong. Wash your meal down with sweet purple bissap (hibiscus) and ginger drinks." - Eater Staff
