Madiba Restaurant and the James Hotel

Friday, 23 September 2011
The weather was miserable on Friday but that didn't stop Tshego and I from being outdoors!

Below is Tshego's photo shoot walking through 5th Ave...
I was soaked by the end of it all!




I owe someone a pwessie from this store, I
promise to send it back with the next friend who comes to visit USA 
(pwomise)

After getting soaked and doing a bit of shopping (where we could afford it) we headed to Madiba Restaurant in Brooklyn.  The restaurant has been around since 1999 and its first in the USA.  It pays homage to Nelson Mandela and it is owned by a South African, Mark Henegan.  Please check out the website for more information http://www.madibarestaurant.com/pages/about.html
