Sofia Tosello belongs to an exciting new group of South American artists who blend traditional rhythms with a funky and sophisticated New York sensibility. Hailing from Cordoba, Argentina, Sofia has the unmistakable imprint of the tango, the chacarera and zamba. We also hear reflected in her voice an impressive range of sounds including “world” jazz, bossa nova, and Nueva Trova. Sofia sees herself as a border-crosser, not bound by any one genre.

It's Tric-quila, Not Tequila.

Mercadito Cantina Opens

You’ve always been a fan of Mexican cuisine.
And in return, Mexican cuisine keeps on loving you back.

Case in point: the soon-to-open Mercadito Cantina in Alphabet City. Cantina replicates the food and feel of the classic Mexican taqueria without neglecting the neighborhood’s penchant for nightlife. Start your evening at the salsa bar, offering eight guacs and ten salsas featuring ingredients from local organic and green markets.

Then it’s time for tacos and heartier fare: try one of the eight new, exotic tacos never tasted at any of Cantina’s sister establishments, or indulge yourself in grass-fed skirt steak, barbacoa chicken, or pork-belly carnitas. But the highlight of the night could be… Tric-quila™ - a sake-based, brewed Tequila substitute that might just fool your seasoned and refined margarita palate.

And don’t worry about getting there late - Mercadito Cantina is open till 1 a.m.

Perfect for fueling your post revelry recovery.

Mercadito Cantina opens Monday (June 30th).
