ONDA Restaurant Hosts Taste of Peru

ONDA Restaurant (212-513-0770) will host Taste of Peru on Friday, May 1st to highlight the cuisine and artwork of Peru. Guests will be listening to the energizing beats of Latin music while dining on the special Peruvian dishes and cocktails featuring BarSol Pisco (half price cocktails from 5 - 9 pm). The artwork of Peruvian artist, Braddy Romero, will also be featured that evening. ONDA will feature a special menu to compliment the Peruvian theme. The a la carte menu includes appetizers like Chupe with peruvian corn and seafood chowder with mussels, clams and crab meat and Crispy Octopus with olive aioli & corn nuts. Larger plates include the Crispy Whole Fish with cilantro, sweet and sour garlic lime sauce and Lomo Saltado with beef stir fry with fries served over haucatay rice & sweet plantain. For two weeks starting that night, ONDA will also feature artwork by Peruvian artist, Braddy Romero, in the restaurant. Born and raised in Cusco, Peru, Braddy brings to his paintings the rich, sun-lit colors of the Andes. Indigenous symbols mix with mementos of personal history to make Braddy’s work wholly unique. Like a great Peruvian meal, the flavors of life combine in unimaginable ways to provide a fully satisfying feast for the senses. Braddy has exhibited in several venues in the US including New York, Washington, California and Maine in addition to several museums in Peru. ONDA, the Spanish word for “vibe,” is just steps away from the financial district of New York City offering the neighborhood an electric Latin refuge. Every detail at ONDA is designed to be comforting, flavorful, colorful and fun – incorporating the best of Latin culture and cuisine. Contemporary Latin cuisine by Chef Raymond Mohan dances on the plate to the music of artisanal Latin cocktails and hand-selected wines that pair perfectly with the dishes that combine flavors from many Latin countries, including Peru, Brazil, Guyana, Jamaica, Ecuador, Cuba, the West Indies, Spain and more.
