Last weekend, ML and I checked out a new jazz bar/restaurant in the Upper East side that we completely fell in love with. We had initially heard about the place at an afro-latin jazz show at Symphony Space earlier this year. A peruvian jazz group that had performed mentioned about a trip they had organized taking a group of people from the US on a cultural tour of Peru. A couple in the group fell in love with the culture there and to bring a piece of it back here to New York, they recently opened up the Tutuma Social Club. The “club” is currently in a soft launch and plans to have a hard launch in July.  Serving up amazing drinks such as maracuya & chicha morada sours and authentic peruvian jazz, Tutuma is a great escape to Peru without the airfare.
