Bunny Chow? Isn't that Moby's new live-foods co-op, where each carrot and sprout receives an apology before consumption? Nope. This South African restaurant is named for a traditional dish consisting of curried meat stuffed into a hollowed loaf of bread, which is then baked and topped off with chutney. Wash it down with rum-based Jo'Burg punch if you like. South African fare is a rarity in Lower Manhattan, and this split-level Lower East Side restaurant/bar is an easy entry-point. There's a comfortable, D.I.Y. aesthetic; a slab of corrugated metal and paintings of Steve Biko and Nelson...
When to Go:
Happy hour runs 5pm to 7pm daily. House wines and cocktails (hard basil lemonade, margaritas, mojitos, Jo'Burg punch) are just $5.
