THE WORLD ON YOUR PLATE
Mariposa gathers dishes from around the globe and serves them under the lights of uptown
YOU’RE WALKING DOWN TRYON STREET as the sun sets over uptown. The office buildings and high-rises, which look like cement blocks by day, light up, and their windows twinkle like Christmas lights. At the top of the Mint Museum’s grand staircase is a new restaurant everyone’s buzzing about, and you’ve snagged a coveted reservation.
