Thanks to our friend Paulie for inviting us to hear him play Klezmer Jazz at Mehanata Bulgarian Bar along with his classmates and teachers from SUNY Purchase. It was a rousing night of music, food and drink. Not to mention meeting a few genuine Bulgarians in the crowd, who told me the music was just like what they listened to at home.
Mehanata Bulgaria is a great place to go to listen and dance to gypsy music, share a hookah and eat Bulgarian food. We all shared a plate of sausages with fried potatoes, grape leaves, cucumber salad and a red pepper puree that was delish. And it cost only $8.99!
Oh, and in case you’re wondering – Paulie is the cool one playing bass.
Thanks for this post Peggy! Does a mom's heart good (not to mention effect on my appetite – oh, those sausages!!).
oh, what fun!
Every time I'm at Mehanata they have amazing music. The place is very lively and easy going. Thanks for sending the tip to everyone else.
